| Location: Idaho Falls,ID,USA Member Since: Feb 22, 2010 Gender: Male Goal Type: Other 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.

| TM run this AM, quads were sore from the weekend! They felt better at the end of the run than at the start. Spent 30 minutes stretching afterwards, feel much better, but stil have some deep soreness. Maybe better not lay off so much next winter. | | Add Comment |

| Started on the TM this morning, noticed on the news it was supposed to be 40's and sunny in the afternoon. Quit the TM after 1M and went to work early. Ran 5.5 over lunch, although the 40's and sunny ended up being 30's and cloudy, just a tad chilly for shorts, the run felt great.
Feel like I'm starting to get my legs back. Whooo Hoooo!

| Recovery run this AM, then some stretching and weights. Tuesday's run seemed to turn into more of a tempo effort which left me a bit sore yesterday. I can confirm observations by others on the blog that all TMs near a fan at the gym get gobbled up by walkers who chat with their friends and talk on the phone the whole time...not a drop of sweat on them.

Easy 2.5 on the TM before stretching. Planned on a PM outside run but it just didn't happen.

| Did a double today, still keeping it slow but starting to feel much better overall. I planned on going to the gym this AM and run for a TM and stretch, etc as my wife and kids didn't have to work/school this morning. I just threw my running bag in the BR last night and planned to go to the gym in my running clothes. Little did I know I only had clothes in my bag was for outside (long tights/underarmour/fleece). I would have worn this stuff to the gym but really didn't want to look like a plum smuggler with muffin top, so I decided to go outside and take the dog out too. That was a real bust.....dog is more out of shape than me....and had to go very slow the last mile to make it home. Ended up with only 3 miles. It was warm though, and no wind.
Lunchtime run was good, did my 5.5 mile greenbelt loop (still wore the underarmour but the fleece covers the muffin top! :) ). It was very sunny and warm, light south wind. Was way too hot in long tights and fleece when running with the wind.

| Trying to get into a routine where I do doubles every other day, with the goal of increasing my weekly mileage to around 35 miles per week. Did 2 easy miles on the TM this AM, followed by stretching and some yoga. Outside run at lunch, 5.5 miles, windy and snowy. Feeling much better with the miles though, legs really aren't feeling heavy, actually kinda fresh! My "slow" pace is getting faster every time out...
Hopefully I'll be to the point where I can handle doubles daily and/or longer distances per run.

12.2 miles in 1:46 this morning. Ran with Jeff (jtshad) and Andrea. It was nice to get to go out with friends, it motivated me to go a bit farther than planned. I ran out of gas at about 9.5 miles, but considering that this run was nearly double my longest run this year I am very happy with the effort. Thanks Jeff and Andrea for your patience!!!!!!

| Beautiful sunny lunchtime run around the green belt. Legs felt a bit tired from Saturday's long run, but no pain...just fatigue. May need to cut the miles back this week from my big jump last week. We'll see how everything feels tomorrow and Wednesday. | |

| Finally back at it. Picked up some kind of stomach virus on Monday night and was dealing with cramps all week. Still a little off, but feeling better. 5 miles easy. | |

| 3 mile TM run this AM and a 5.25 PM run outside. A bit breezy outside, but warm. Shorts and long sleves. Getting back into the routine after the stomach issue and hectic travel feels really good! |
