Personal:

I am 45 years old with 2 boys. One is 21 and the other is 17. I will also be a new father again in early Feb 2015. Don't know if its a girl or a boy as we want to be surprised. I have never been a long distance runner but was fairly fast as sprinter when I was young so many years ago. I want to always do what I never think is possible which is a big reason I want to see if I can build up the endurance to run long distances. I think it would be great to complete in some ulta distance runs as well. I work out 3-4 days a week with a trainer. Been doing so nearly a year now accomplishing things I once thought impossible. Did a dead lift from 18 inches off the ground for 558 pounds in Oct. this year. Hope to get 658 next year. Also I can hit a golf ball a very long distance. Longest recorded to date is 410 yards and would even like to compete at the Long Drive World Championships some day. As you can see I have a lot of goals or lets just say things I love to do. I like to put all my goals out there and see what happens. I was taught there is nothing you can't accomplish if you put your mind to it. Of course nothing comes without tremendous drive and dedication.

Ran my fasted 5K to date but still did not push it as far as I can go. Have longer goals right now and not wanting to possibly get hurt to run all out for 3.1 miles for no real reason. Anyway ran the 5K at a 8:37 pace for a total time of 26:41. Then did 2 miles relaxed at a 9:47 pace for a total time of 19:33. total pace of 9:03 for the 5.1 miles in 46:14.
