Running Accomplishments:

I didn't run competitively in high school or college but have enjoyed running since the age of fifteen. 

My mileage has been around 20 miles a week for the past 3 or 4 years but extremely inconsistent. 

I am wanting to become a more focused runner and think this site will be a great way to track my progress.

I have had minor injuries and often ride the stationary bike to cross train.

Recent Races:

2011 Greek Festival 5k 16:40

2011 Oktoberfast 5k (track) 17:07

2011 Crack of Dawn 8k (Down Millcreek Canyon): 26:29

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

1600m: 4:30

5k: 16 min

10k: 33 min

These are reasonable goals. I think by the end of 2012 I can reach them, if the world doesn't end.

Stay injury free and continue to enjoy running!

 

Planned Races

Running of the Leopards 5k (3/24)

Salt Lake 10 Miler Emigration Canyon (4/7)

 

 

 

 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Stay healthy and consistent.  I will slowly start running longer distances and enter longer races as my mileage builds.

Personal:

I enjoy being outside, golf, cycling, mixed martial arts, reading and laughing as much as possible.

My girlfriend is awesome and supports my running.

Ran a 10k loop during my lunch break.
