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.

XT ing today at the Gym.  Total work out was 31.00 minutes.  Split time between the Eliptical and the Stationary Bike.  Would rather be running . . . . but.  Will keep the cardio going for now.

Two easy miles on the treadmill (9.30) after warming up on the Eliptical.  Then spent 15 minutes on the Stationary Bike for 4.5 miles.  Total workout time was 47 mins.  Felt good.  Feet didn't bother me at all.

Back up to SLC to celebrate the Holiday's with family.  Decided to walk 1.5 at a brisk pace.  After riding in a car for four hours and not doing a lot physically I wanted to stretch and get my heart going.  Merry Christmas all.
