Short-Term Running Goals:

Stay healthy!

Would like to BQ - need to shave 23 minutes off PR.

 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running.

When I started running my wish that turned into a goal was to qualify for Boston. Just so I could say "I qualified for Boston."

AFTER BQ, I think I will do some Tri events.  For sure some Half Ironman events, and see where that takes me.

Personal:

Married to Kelly (with a 'Y')

Kelly and I got out kinda late.  9:30 PM or so.  Overall felt good.  I can tell I have had some serious amount of time off.  Legs are tired.  But good to be out running again.  :-)

 

Have a great day!

Kelly and ran down into some housing area in Lehi that she had not been in before, looked like a gated community.  Turns out to be a nice neighborhood.  Had some good uphill sections.  I think I would like to find a route that includes this area, and use it to see improvement.  Enough uphill and down that will make for decreasing time a challenge after awhile.

A little more exploring around NE Lehi.  There is a new trail, much like JRP that crosses 1200 W.  Goes up to Alpine Hwy.  I hope that it will someday connect to JRP.  Would make for some nice long, no car trails!

Went 1.75 miles with the kids in the morning, the 5 miles with Kelly at night.  Kelly and I ran 2.5 from the house up Suncrest and turned back home.  This will be another that I will start to use to see improvement.

Easy run with Kelly.  Flat 3 mile route around the school.

Kelly and I did some cross training at home.  Got the exercise ball out and did crunches and planks, then did some plyometrics (don't know if I spelled that correct).  Those kill me!  Then did lunges and another ball exercise.  That last one is tough.  Laying on the ball forearms on the ground, hips on the ball, feet spread and toes touching the ground.  Keeping legs straight I had to lift them up and as high as possible and then bring them together above and behind me and touch heels.  Wow that takes some strength.  I feel like such a wimp.  Kelly knocks these things out like its nothing and I would like to just die.

Arms are tired from the dips.  I think I should put that off until well into the summer when I don't have these extra winter pounds.  :-)

Have a great day, and weekend.

Kelly and I ran with her friend Deb.  We started off thinking we would run 8 miles on streets, but then we all thought it would be fun to try some trails.  Wellllllllll, we started up this trail and Deb said we can take this to the top of Suncrest, then have a nice downhill back.  In the middle and as far as I was concerned to far in to turn back (I thought we were headed to the top of Suncrest THE ROAD, turns out Deb meant a trail back) we encountered snow packed trails and fairly deep here and there.  Big hills.  I was looking forward to the road/street for the run back home.  Finally got to the road, after doing some cross country.  Noticed my watch had 2.14 miles on it.  I'm slow, but I think that I covered MORE miles than 2.14 in that hour.  So I reset my watch.  Ran the roads back to the car and I had about 5.1 miles on that leg.  So I decided that it had to be something close to the same on the out.  

Overall a  good run.
