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 slept in again this morning so I didn't get out on my run until 0630.  It was raining lightly, the streets were wet, and it was not really that cold.  I loved the run.  I ran the three miles without a break.  I am excited that my endurance has improved.  I will keep working at it this month.  My goal in December is to improve 10% in my mileage from November.  Overall that will be 73 miles.  That will be a mix of three and four miles a day.

I am posting this late so I don't remember a lot about this run.  This week I woke up later than usual and therefore did not have as much time.  The mornings this week have been nice . . . not as cold.  I am still running in my sweats, headband, and gloves.

AM Run.  I went the extra miles this morning.  I only took one brief walking break.  Feels good for my endurance to be improving.

AM Run this morning before taking Zac out to the Hurricane Invitational.  Only had time to go three.  That is as far as I wanted to go for my weekly mileage.  This was a good week for me.  Overall my legs felt stronger and my endurance has improved.  I will keep going to reach my goal for the month.
