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.

Ran the Idaho Falls Firecracker 5K with my 8 and 10 year olds.  What a great day, my 10 yr old got bored because his sister was going too slow, so he left us before mile 1, and I did a bit of run/walk with my daughter.  They were both troopers, but it was tough for me not to race it.  I think next race the kids can handle running on their own.
