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

2012 Running of the Leopards 5k (15:53)

Salt Lake 10 Miler (56:04)

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

1600m: 4:30

5k: 16 min (track or honest course)

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

Crack of Dawn 8k (6/2)

Long-Term Running Goals:

Stay healthy and consistent.  Learn more about the sport and keep improving.

I plan on transitioning to running longer distances and enter longer races as my mileage builds. Hope to be averaging 50 miles a week by the time the year ends.

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.

AM

Nice group run this morning with Jake, Andrea, Adam RW and Fritz.  Met at Highland and ran into Holladay before looping back.  It was a little chilly at the start but I warmed up quickly and was sweating at the end.  About 7:35 average pace.

Was happy to get in a longer run this morning, wouldn't have happened on my own so thanks to the group.  

12.9 miles

 

PM

Jogged my 5k route more out of boredom then anything else.  Felt good, did a couple strides and stretched after.

Went on my 5 mile loop. Average pace 6:21

Kind of cold and lots of puddles, had to cross a busy street and tried not to slow down but had to. After that I took it easy for the rest of the run.

Did an 8 mile progression run through Holladay and Murray

Miles were:

7:20-6:48-6:46-6:23-6:18-6:17-6:04-5:51

I felt really good today, I think it was due to the very easy miles yesterday
