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.

Beautiful Saturday morning!  Planned on doing a 4X30sec TM hill interval run today, but just had to go outside.  Modified it make the run a bit longer, and actually programmed the intervals into my Forerunner, which I had never done before.  It worked well.  Finally feeling recovered from the lifting on Tuesday.....

Lunchtime greenbelt run.  First mile felt pretty good, then got asthmatic and legs got real heavy.  Had to run/walk parts.  Around mile 5 lungs started feeling better but legs never really came back.

CAES and Freeman Park laps.  Very windy but relatively warm.  Forgot my Garmin, but pushed the pace at bit, estimate about 7:15-7:30/mile based on the clock in the building.

After work out and back from home to Bucks.  5 miles in 39 minutes, felt pretty good, awesome day, mid-50's and light breeze.  Got chased by two stupid dogs, no threat just goofy, they ran with me for about a mile before losing interest.  They kept stepping on my heals and cutting in front of me, felt like a trail run!

Easy recovery-ish run through the neighborhood in a light rain.  Really didn't run for time, tried to keep it really slow, averaged 8:35/mile.

Nice Idaho spring morning run; started out overcast but pleasant, actually thought about going out in shorts--good thing I didn't--about 2 miles in the light rain began, at 3.5 rain pretty hard and wind, at about 5 miles the snow set in, at 6.5 miles snow was pretty hard.  Got home after 8.1 miles with numb hands covered in snow.  Averaged 8:32/mile.

Bucks and Back run from home.  Missed the last few days (Monday and Tuesday intentionally) Wednesday was a insane day at work.  Felt good to get out this morning, didn't wear my Garmin, but it took me 39:42 to do the 5.5 miles, I'm pretty happy with this.

Out of town with the family for a spring break hockey tournament.  Got a 4.5 mile out and back hill run from the hotel this morning.  This was supposed to be an easy week....perfect timing I suppose, as my mileage is way down this week.....
