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.

PM Run with Sierra.  I enjoy being able to run with her.  She is kind enough to slow down for me.  We ran down Telegraph to where the sidewalk ends, then turned around and ran back to the Walmart where Jill was kind enough to pick us up.  It was below 35 degrees during this run.  It always surprises me how much my body warms up when I get running.

Work out at the Gym.  Tread mill, eliptical and weights.  Missed Monday as I have had a hard time getting myself motivated this week.  Glad that I went today.

AM run in the cold weather.  I actually like morning runs.  My legs felt good, and I was glad to be out exercising.

AM run with Sierra.  Did the Artic Circle route this morning.  Stephanie Worlton suggested a "biggest loser" competition in our immediate family.
