Lose some weight and get back into racing shape. Run more races this year.
Next race: St. George Marathon
Long-Term Running Goals:
Stay healthy and in good enough shape that I can more or less keep up with my youngest daughter.
Personal:
My wife Laureen got me into running. She went into the St. George Marathon Ten Year Club last year and I should go in this year. I have two daughters (15 and 21).
Beautiful, clear morning. Temperatures in the low 50's. Light enough to see even at 5:25 when I left the house. Felt some soreness in my ankle for the first half mile or so, but felt great for the rest of the run. Pushed the pace the last mile.
Golf course - canyon road route with Laureen at 11:30. It was kind of hot, but there was a cooling breeze blowing most of the time. Pushed the effort and pace down the hill from just below the roundabout down to the bridge.
AF Canyon run. Was kind of expecting rain and wind this morning, but it was mostly quite nice. It took a mile or so before I really got going, but no real aches or pains to speak of. Saw a fair number of people out and about ten cars in the canyon.
