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 around Smiths, back West then home.  Getting stronger, and Kelly is getting faster.  She doesn't give herself enough credit, for ability, speed.  She will get there.

 

Have a great day!

I don't know what to use for a conversion on the bike (actually spin) miles.  Kelly and I did the spin class at the fitness center, about an hour.  Then ran a mile.  Then did some weights.  Arm curls and dips.  Then the dreaded planks.  (I had some pulling in the abdomen so I called that off.) (but then we both did an alternate tummy burner.)  Then we did three sets of 15 frog jumps (ply-o-metrics - not sure how to spell that)  Those kick my hinny BIG time.

Quick run late at night.  We had to hurry home and take my kids to desert and then to one of the kids basketball games.

Ran a couple miles at the orem fitness center.  Then lifted weights.

 

Kelly and I are signed up for Spectrum 10k.  Looking forward to seeing some of you bloggers there.

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!

Kelly and I went for a easy "recovery" run.  Went from our house, down to a new "trail" in Lehi.  The trail (paved) runs from SR92 down to State St, following the railroad tracks.  We picked up the trail at 1200 West.  Ended our run at the Holiday gas station by I15.  Was nice and easy pace, good miles, good running partner and good talk.
