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.

In Denver for work, bumped into a friend on my way to my hotel room and we ended up running together and chatting.  Very nice comfortable pace, 9:20 average

Hill intervals in park near hotel.  There was a path around some soccer fields and then a set of stairs (6-7 flights) on one end.  The path was about 0.6 miles, so it worked out nice to run a lap to recover and then a few stair sets.  Did the stairs 6 times, and then just did sprints next the the stairs 4 times.

Two runs, an AM run for two miles with my friend from Univ of Utah.  I met him on my way out, and his way back, so we ran together and chatted.  My legs felt heavy from yesterday, so I didn't mind the short run.

 

2.6 mile PM run, legs still heavy, but the run was good, averaged 8:02.  Half on a dirt trail, half on sidewalk.

LSD run this morning, home to Broadway Bridge, through Snake River Landing, around Ryder Park, and back home.  Felt great, nice and easy, refreshing.  Averaged 8:42/mile, with the first few 9+ and the last few 7:30 or so.

Non-timed run early AM to help recovery the legs form yesterday's long effort.  Felt great at first, but legs are fatigued.
