Gender:

Male

Goal Type:

Half Marathon Finish

Running Accomplishments:

Recently have become interested in running thanks to my daughter and her XC adventures. I have finished a 5K and 10K. As I am new to running, I don't have a lot of highlites at this point. Hopefully this will change

5K 27:21

10K 59:30

Short-Term Running Goals:

First build back up to running thirty minutes at a time.

5K October 30 -- Big Brothers, Big Sisters.

10k in November -- Butch Cassidy race in Springdale.

I would like to build a solid base over the next 6 - 12 months. I hope to run in either 5K or 10K races through the next year and perhaps one 1/2 marathon (depending on how my body responds to training).

 

I would like to see how fast and far my 40 + year old body is capable of running.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Over the next 10 years I want to run consistently to maintain health and to enjoy a sport that challenges me.

Personal:

I have a wonderful marriage of 20+ years and have four children who are the light of my life. They range in age from 19 - 12 . . . two girls and two boys. Two of my children are interested in running.  Sierra and Zac are both participating on the Pine View XC Team.

AM Run -- I ran at home with Sierra.  Zac, I think, has given up the morning workout at the Gym.  This morning was a nice easy run.  Sierra felt a little sick at the mid way point, but then felt better and was able to finish the run.  It was nice to be able to run with her again.

AM Run -- Tried to get Sierra to run with me this morning.  She, however, had planned an afternoon run with her friends.  It was cold this morning.  I have a hard time getting out the door and into the cold.  Once there, I really enjoyed my run.  Ran my usual four mile route.

AM Run  --  I got out later than usual.  My bed was much more comfortable this morning than the cold out doors.  I ran my usual four mile route.  Nice run.  Two miles without stopping.  Stretched and then another two miles with one walking break.  I am nearly to the point I could do the whole two miles.

AM Run.  I ran my usual route this morning.  I got out later than I wanted -- 0630.  I would have liked to been out running by 0500.  Ran 2.0 miles straight.  Small walking break in the second 2 miles.

AM Run.  I slept in this morning.  Jill and I went to Washington Elementary to pick up produce, and then I ran home.  Ran without stopping.  I was disappointed to learn that the distance wasn't 3.  I would have liked to say I ran a 5 k this morning.  Nevertheless, my endurance has improved and I am happy with my follow through and commitment.
