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 -- Strained a calf muscle about 3/4 through my run.  I don't know how I strained the muscle.  It just tightened up and then felt like it cramped up.  I stopped for a short time and then finished.  As I write this I have taken some IBU and used wintercrest.  The musclue is still sore.  I hope it doesn't interfere with my goal.

Cross fit training day as I strained a muscle in my left calf.  I am kind of bummed about not being able to run.

AM Run.  My leg was sore this moring and threatened to cramp up the last 1/4 of a mile.  I took two walking breaks to give my leg a rest.  Felt good to run again.  Wish my leg would cooperate.

AM Run.  I got up early before Zac had to be to his wrestling match and ran three miles.  I took Zac and Trevor over the Dixie High School, did a few errands at home, and then went to Golds for 30 + minutes.  I worked on the Eliptical, and the stationary bike.  I also did a little weights lifting.  Good workout for the day.  Ran three miles.
