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 -- It is drizzling out side this morning.  Made is so that I was soaked by the time I finished my run.  That doesn't happen often in the desert.  I did enjoy my run, the cool temperatures, the sound of car tires on wet roads, and periodically splashing around in a rain puddle.  When was the last time I did that.  My left leg is still sore and weaker that it has been in the past couple of months.  I am not sure what that is about.  I wondered this morning if some of it was that I haven't stretched really well.  So, now I am stretching to see if I can't resolve this little problem.  Ran past Article Circle and on to the BLVD.

Leg is still a little sore. At the end of the run it feels like my left calf is going to cramp up.  No fun.

Merry Christmas All.  My children gave me a Garmin.  Should be fun to play with.  Maybe I will be more accurate with my miles.
