Short-Term Running Goals:

Stay healthy!

Would like to BQ - need to shave 23 minutes off PR.

 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running.

When I started running my wish that turned into a goal was to qualify for Boston. Just so I could say "I qualified for Boston."

AFTER BQ, I think I will do some Tri events.  For sure some Half Ironman events, and see where that takes me.

Personal:

Married to Kelly (with a 'Y')

Kelly and I ran the Spectrum 10k.  Kelly did awesome.  Bettered her last year time by 4 minutes.  I think she has more speed in her.  

 

I started slower than last year, I don't feel like I am nearly as ready as I was last year, so I thought I should keep it easier at first and have some at the end.  But like last year I still didn't have juice at the end.  I did see a guy try and pass me in the finish shute, but I wasn't gonna let him by without a fight.  I managed a dead sprint for the last 100 feet.  :-)

 

Good day!!!  Got to run with my girl!

Jon! CONGRATS on a fun race! SO HAPPY for Kelly's HUGE PR! 4 minutes! Yes, that girl has speed in her. WAY to sprint at the end and fend off that guy! You're AWESOME!!! :)

GREAT JOB JON and KELLY!!!! We will make her love running, i am so glad she was able to do so much better this year. That is always a good incentive to run!

Way to sprint at the end when it counts!!! Have fun in the beautiful weather.

Glad you got to get in a nice run with the wife! Is she doing the St George Ironman?

Nice job bro.!

Kelli, is it your favorite because you PR'd on it? Are you running this year?

Maurine, She isn't doing the Ironman. Thats a big event!

Thanks Jeff, maybe sometime this year I will be in as good of shape as you. :-)

Well, aside from the PR, I love the course! I love the HUGE crowds running and cheering you on, and I loved finishing the run into the gateway, I felt like a superstar! We won't be running it this year as Boston is the following Monday, but I will run it every year after this one!
