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. :)

Total Distance
1.70

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. 

Weight: 232.00

That is awesome I am glad she is able to slow down for you. Because I think she knows once you get up to speed she will want you to slow down for her.:) Nice job btw on the weight loss today. A pound is a pound and its in the right direction.
