5k : 50:00 (Idaho Falls Turkey Run) My wife ran a 10 k that same day faster. lol.
In High School I ran short distances. (1990-02) Made it to State several times running the 100, 200, 400, and relays.
Short-Term Running Goals:
Running 1.5 miles for charity in May. I hope to build to a 5k (running the whole time) by the fall.
Long-Term Running Goals:
I would like to run a 10k with my wife. (Well we will start together and I will meet up with her after she finishes the race before me).
Personal:
I work for the Utah County Sheriff's Office. I'm just finishing a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling. I figure the counseling can come in handy on this site. (Some of you guys have some running issues). lol. My wife is a awesome runner who runs with many of the people on this site. She isn't a fan of blogging so she reads comments mostly. My wife ran a 3:24 marathon at The Mesa Falls Marathon last year and took 1st place overall for females. I hope one day she is recorded among the top finishers on this site. :)
My wife (Ali) does a bootcamp every monday and thursday at our local church. It was an awesome work out. I ran about a mile while there and ran a little more at the end. I'm just trying at this point to get ready for the 1 1/2 miles I will run in May for the special olympics. I hope to shed about 10 lbs in the process. I have a winter coat I need to shed. Speedo here I come. lol.
Ran with my wife this morning. Its funning to see her trying to run slow. She like a jack rabbit trying not to jump. Anyway the weather was awesome. I reach a new high at 1.7 miles. Felt pretty good afterward. I walked the last .3 for two miles total. Alison is very encouraging. I know the first few weeks are tough. I'm trying my best to tough it out.
Had a 1 hour workout with my wife at her bootcamp. Ran about 1/2 mile there. Later on in the day did another 3/4 of a mile leading a group of SWAT cadets in the Utah County Swat School. Twisted my ankle midway through. Ouch. A little tender but I plan to run tomorrow. My wife is so awesome for her support, her workouts are intense and I think the little running I've been doing is helping already with my endurance.
