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')

Ran 8 this morning before work.  My legs were tired from Sat.  I always get to this point in the season and wonder how I will possibly finish the season and make it on the marathon.  

Hope everyone has a great day!

Ran over behind Smiths and then looped around the elementary school.  Had one "warm-up" and one "cool-down" mile.  Splits were 8:26, 7:41, 7:30, 7:43, 7:57, for a 7:53 average.  I was glad I could get down under 8 for the whole thing.  I have been feeling (today included) very tired.  Legs have been feeling heavy and sluggish. 

Last night Kelly and I rode part way up AF canyon.  We stopped 8 miles short of the top.  Kelly rides that like it's a speed bump on a flat road.  Such strong biking legs.  Someday I want to be able to keep up with her on a bike.  :-)

Have a GREAT day!

Ahhhh, good run, ok speed. 7 miles. Splits were 8:23, 8:04, 8:30, 8:14, 7:06, 8:00, 7:13 for a 7:56 average overall. Mile 5 was .60 downhill and .4 flat. Felt good that I held close to 7, then mile 7 was flat with some rollers, again pleased that I held a faster (for me) pace.

 

Have a GREAT day!

I think its always cool when you can run someplace that seems like a long ways away.  Started in Lehi, ran to Highland , then ran to Alpine, then ran to American Fork, then back to Lehi.  20 miles total, I know the cities are all right next to each other, but it just sounds cool to have run in and around 4 cities.

Anyway, 20 miles avg pace was 9 flat.  Legs were really hating this run.   I don't feel like I am at all ready for this marathon.  (SGM)  I'll get another 20 and probably 18 in before the marathon and hopefully feel better about doing ok at SG.

 

Have a great day!

Ran from the house down Hwy 92, to Kohlers then to State St in AF, then to Target.  Nice run.  Glad I had Kohlers there, HAD to use the little boys room. 

First three miles were slow and getting the legs warmed up, that took longer than I usual.  The last 4 were faster.  7:56, 7:38, 7:09, 7:00, then cooldown for .5 at 8:15.  Felt good to get some quicker miles in.

Have a GREAT day!
