Running Accomplishments:

My 10K PR is 32:40, set in 1988 at Fort Lewis, WA.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Short term goal is a sub 40 minute 10K, would also like to have a respectable time for a 1/2 marathon.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I hope to have the pleasure of racing with my kids as they get older.

Personal:

I was a fairly fast 10Ker approximately 20 years ago.  Although I have been running, at various levels, since that time, I haven't been focused solely on running (done a lot of biking, and triathlons....even powerlifting for a few years!).

 

I am married and have 2 kids, a boy (10) and a girl (8).  My wife is an avid cyclist and races in Idaho and Utah.

First run since sinus surgery on 2/11/10, something seemed to break loose in my sinus....got lightheaded so I cut the run short.

Took it easy on the TM this AM.  Everything felt pretty good, kept it conversational the whole time.  I think I'll keep it this way for another week to be sure everything is healed in my sinuses.

I need to come up with good training plan for a half marathon in July.  I have used plans from Matt Fitzgerald for half ironman races in the past and liked them, but as I'm primarily running this year I need something specialized.  Suggestions anyone....

 I really have no base to work from right now, I've only been running maybe 15 miles/week and lifting weights over the winter.  I'll start working my weekly totals up to the 30-35 mile range.

Ran outside today, it was a warm 30 degrees, sidewalks were clear, very nice overall.  Kept it comfortable, overall average pace was 9:00/mile, which includes some walking with as a cool down. The cold air helped the sinuses, I think everything is finally cleared out from the surgery.

 

Running outside made me realize how old my shoes are, I think it is time for a new pair!
