Hurricane Half (2008) 2:02:25 Short-Term Running Goals: I have a half coming up in august in Provo that I talked my wife into trying, and I just started training again for the St George marathon. Long-Term Running Goals: Of course I would some day love to qualify for Boston. Personal: When I started running, which was back in Feb. of 2007, I weighed 110 lbs. more than I do now. Although I do not run as fast as I would like, I feel like as long as I continue to progress, I can make it to my goals. I have found that running has been essential to keeping the weight off for me. When I start to take it easy after a race is over, that is when the pounds can creep back on! Favorite Blogs: |

St George Marathon (26.2 Miles) 04:31:18, Place overall: 3610, Place in age division: 53 | | This was my first marathon, and it was a good experience overall. Don't get me wrong, I realy started to struggle with cramps in my calves and thighs at about 19 miles in, but I was able to finish, and even within about two minutes of what my goal time was. | Add Comment |
| | Today was a 10-mile run. I finished in just under 1:38. I felt like my pace was pretty good until the last 2 miles or so, then I really started to slow down. | Comments(2) |

This was a speed workout. I did a 1-mile warm up, and then did a ladder consisting of a 400, 800, 1200, 800, and 400, with a jog of half the distance inbetween each leg. There was also a 1-mile cool down.
After I got back home, my wife wanted to go for a short jog, so I went for a 2 miler with her. I was surprised how fast I got sore while jogging quite slow! | Comments(6) |

For the past few weeks, whenever I have to run at the gym and I know that I have to run for about an hour or so, I have been trying to hit 6.55 miles in one hour (half the distance of a half marathon). Today I finally was able to get there! | Comments(5) |
