5 K Finish

Running Accomplishments:

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. :)

Move along. The last few times I ran on a treadmill. I been going about 25 to 20 mins working more jogging continuously than how far I am running. So far have good success and feeling pretty good. The albuterol has  been awesome. I didn't realize how bad my exercise- induced asthma has been. Well see how I do tonight running.

Alright a few first:

1. The first time I've ever stayed on the treadmill for more than 60 minutes.

2. The first time I've ever ran over 4 miles without being prompted. (police academy,swat school, etc.)

3. The first time I've ever work out for over 1 1/2 hours in about 10 years(did 30 minutes of yoga stuff).

It felt great to get that work out done. The inhaler has been heaven sent. The intensity of my workouts are great. I sweat like a pig, and I love it. Now I just have to decide if I want to do this again. lol

Nice jog with my oldest son. Lots of fun. Nothing like having a conversation about the many adventure of spongebob squarepants. I was very stiff this morning so the jog helped.

Shattering my previous total mileage week by 2 miles. lol. I'm starting to get used to this whole running thing. 20 mins isn't very long anymore which is a huge deal for me. Working on running without stopping for an hour is my new goal. I know I can do it.
