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.

Greenbelt run at lunch, windy but warm.  Tried to keep it slow, kept finding myself going faster than I wanted.  Ended up averaging 8:10/mile.

 Nice to be back after missing so many days.

Home to Broadway Bridge greenbelt loop with the kids on their bikes.  Nice no pace goal run, very nice morning--cool, sunny, light wind.  Took about 1:25, which includes walking kids thru crosswalks, mediating two arguments, fixing one bike, etc.......

CAES to Broadway loop.  Had planned on a Pancheri loop, but the legs protested, so I cut it short.  Felt pretty good though, 7:56/mile average over 5.5 miles.

18 mile bike ride with Anna yesterday average 19 mph, first one of the year.  Between this and the long run on Saturday may be why the legs were a bit heavy today.

Treadmill run while on business travel.  TM was in metric, so it took me a bit to get things figured out.  Did a 10K in 46 minutes, and cooled down for another 1.5K.

Another TM run, 8K.  Worked in a few intervals to relieve boredom, but it was a good run overall.

CAES - Broadway greenbelt loop.  Averaged 8:18 for 5 miles, then cooled down for 0.5.  Seemed really HOT outside....can't believe I'd complain about that in April!

Neighborhood run for 30 minutes, just mainly tooling around, went by the school for some interval laps and pull-ups.  Nice cool morning, with a great sunrise.

A 5K fun run with my son (and wife/daughter who paired up), which began by getting out of the house late, running to the start line, then following my son on a sprint for the first 1/4 mile, then run/walk for a the rest.  Then did a 1 mile fun run with the kids too, and finally walked back home.  Pretty nice morning overall!

Home to Channing Way out and back on a cool and enjoyable morning.  Best enjoyable run I've had in a while, pace was 7:40 and felt easy and great.  Nice start to the day, and the week.
