| Location: Midvale,Ut, Member Since: Jul 15, 2011 Gender: Male Goal Type: Local Elite Running Accomplishments: I have lost 90 pounds. This more than any thing else is my greatest accomplishment. After my collegiate running career I sadly stopped running and kept eating all the way to 265 pounds. After a lot of soul-searching and even more running I am now 175, the same weight I was in college. Short-Term Running Goals: Keep running. I simply run for greater health. I enjoy the struggle for self improvement. Long-Term Running Goals: I would like to amass enough race t-shirts to make blankets for every bed in the house, as well as finally run a marathon.

| Time 1:10:50 Avg pace 7:05 Avg HR 148 Peak HR 171 This was an incredibly rewarding run today. Starting out I wanted to run between 7 and 10 miles, but at the 3.5 mile mark I was just not ready to turn around. I ran on roads that I have never been on before. The run had a total of 932 feet of elevation gain with the lion share of that on the first half of the run. With that much of a climb I probably should have saved this fun for a some other day when I was not recovering from a race. However, it just felt great! When I reached the top of the run and looked back at the incredible view I was so glad to be a runner. There is something so cool about exploring new places on your own two feet, and to get an awesome view in the middle is very rewarding.

| Time 42:06 Avg Pace 7:01 No HR Data This run seemed refreshing and energizing after a long day. Mile 1 was just hard and slow like I was wearing cement shoes. By mile 3 I was feeling good. I was just motoring effortlessly through mile 4, 5, and 6. | | Add Comment |

| Time 21:08 Avg pace 7:02 No HR data I had to dramatically reduce my milage today or risk increasing my weekly milage by too great of a margin. As we all know this has a way of angering the God of injury, and I never want to do that. During this run easy 3 mile run I couldn’t help but think about when 3 miles was not so easy for me. For comparison I pulled up a run that I did on Jul 14, 2007 in Pittsburg, PA. Elevation 1,200 feet Distance 2.00 miles Time 18:56 Avg pace 9:29 Avg HR 167 Peak HR 186 Weight 265 lb. Looking back on it now, I’m amazed that I didn’t have a heart attack. What ever else I get from my running I feel like it has already been worth the time and effort. | | Comments(2) |

| Time 1:25:23 Avg pace 7:04 Avg HR 156 Peak HR 168 It was so refreshing to finally log some miles with another runner. This was the first time in years that I have done a training run with someone. Chad, from the blog, was kind enough to let me tag along on his 12 miler today. This was a fantastic course in a neighborhood that I used to live in. We were able to do the entire run without stoping for traffic, this was also a first in a long while for me. The course featured wide shoulders, light traffic, and about 550 feet of climb and decent. All said and done this was a great way to end the week. Thanks Chad! | | Comments(4) |
