Short-Term Running Goals:

I don't have any running goals.  In fact, since October 2010 I've been doing more strength training than running. 

After dealing with some annoying injuries throughout the summer and fall and I pretty much gave up running for while.  With the new year I plan on doing more running, but I'll still be doing P90x also.

Hmmm, I take it back....I do have a couple of running related goals.  First is to put together a team to win the Law Day 5k!  After that I'll be helping Thatcher get back in shape and make the BYU team after he returns from his mission.

Personal:

50 years old, married to A'Lissa (who is faster than me) for 20+ years, 3 fantastic kids.  My son Thatcher has a blog here at fastrunningblog.com, but it is on hiatus while he serves an LDS mission (returning in May!)  In the past I operated a youth track club and I served as a volunteer assistant with the Skyline XC team.  A'Lissa and I are the race directors for the Fill the Ark 5k in East Millcreek.

I'm back!  I pretty much stopped running last Summer due to injuries, and then I started doing P90x and made that my main fitness focus.  I did an occasional run over the past few months, but I never recorded them here.  I plan on doing it more frequently in the new year, so I'm going to start back up here at fastrunningblog.com. 

We are in San Diego (Coronado) for the weekend and I did a 4 mile run mostly along the water front with A'Lissa and Taylor.  4 miles, 8:10/mi pace.

A'Lissa and I are in Palm Springs this week for a vacation.  Our plan is to make it and active vacation and we got off to a good start this morning.  We ran 4.05 miles on the streets near the resort this morning (8:13/mi pace) and a 4+ mile hike this afternoon.

We got up this morning and drove to a neighborhood of 1950s houses to combine a run and a mid-century modern architecture tour!  2.75 miles, 8:44/mi pace.  Since I'm not really in running shape I'll be workout out in the gym on alternate days while here.

I was really cold this morning, so we decided to run in the gym.  I started feeling some hip pain after a couple of miles (8:17/mi pace), so I finished up with another 25 minutes on the elliptical.
