Goal Type:

Half Marathon Finish

Short-Term Running Goals:

My short-term running goal is primarily to just establish a 'running lifestyle.'  I was a high-level track athlete in high school, but post high school...I really didn't continue running at all.  Over the years, I became less and less active and became more and more out of shape and more overweight.

In July of 2014, I discovered running again...and after struggling to get my body to cooperate, I began conditioning my body to run further and further.

It is my goal to just continue running.  I want to continue losing weight and establishing a healthy lifestyle so I feel better and can do the things I want to do with my children.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Eventually, I want to build my running base up to the point that I can run a marathon.

Personal:

I am married with 7 amazing children.  My oldest are 17-year-old twins boys who are seniors this year (2014/15) at Bountiful High School, and my youngest is a charismatic 4-year-old.

I felt good all day after running yesterday.  I was going to skip a day, but about 11:00 pm, I couldn't sit still anymore and I decided to go for another easy run.  I was just going to do 2 miles again, but I guess my body was in auto-pilot and ran one of my regular routes before I even realized what I was doing.

I ran another slow pace...doing 3.5 miles at 10:44/mile.  Again, I felt good when I was running...and after I finished.  I also felt like I could have kept running several more miles.  It feels good to know that I didn't lose too much conditioning during the few weeks I wasn't running.

Still pain free both during and after running.
