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')

Met up with Marion, Smooth, Kelli and her husband Scott, Britta, Teena, Tarzan, John (husband of Suzzana), Leslie and her husband Harold, and I think I'm missing someone.  I'm sorry.  I am the worst with names.  But it sure was nice meeting everyone.  I think I would be a better runner if I ran with them all the time!

John, Scott and I ran most of the time together until Scott took off and left us.  He is so strong.  I need to do more hill work. 

I was fun meeting everyone.  I wish I could have stayed around and socialized.  I had told some friends that I would run the 5k part of the Turkey Tri with them, so I had to get back to Orem by 9.  This was fun and challenging.  There were some beautiful views of the valley when the sun came up.  I hope Harold got some pictures of that, I saw he had his camera.

Have been lazy this week.  I was helping a friend all day Monday and never got to run, and if I don't get out Monday I probably wont get out until Wednesday because I have a lot of things scheduled on Tuesdays. 

Ran over towards the old neiborhood this evening.  I'm probably just a big wimp, but the hill from State St to Main or 400 E or 800 E on 2000 N. just beats me up everytime.  Tonight I wimped out and went to Main, then down to 1600 N.  Then I went more East to 400 E.  Real runners go up 2000.  :-(

Room for improvement.

Went up the canyon with my friend Bill.  He took his kid in the runners stroller.  Those miles were a little slower.  Bill stopped and let his son play/walk while I took off up to the 4 mile mark.  Then I picked him up on the downside.


I missed the running group running the Jordan River Parkway trail, BUT my son was starting defense on the peewee Pro bowl team.  They won.  Yeah!

AM - Went out on the streets, didn't have much time, so ran a quick route around my place, was hoping for 5, came out to 4.29.  I still felt pressed for time so I called it good rather than adding more.  Here all the details for that one.

PM - Took the kids to the fitness center.  Again, want to get 4+ miles and that didn't happen.  The track downstairs is only tolerable in bad bad weather.  6 + laps is a mile (I think its 6.1), I ran 18, then added one to make sure I got 3.  Then I walked a cool down lap and thought that I really wanted more, so I ran some more.  The last lap was 58 sec, and according to the sign on the wall there that equals a 6:00 min mile pace.

Went with Kelli and Scott, Britta, Leslie and Harold, Maurine, and Odee to Lehi and ran part of the JRP (Jordan River Parkway).  Odee and Leslie tried to dance once which sent Leslie to the ground.  Hope you are ok Leslie.  Talk about strong runner, Scott and I could hear her fall 30 feet away, it was a hard fall, but she kept going for 8 miles or so.  TOUGH woman!

The run was good.  We got lost at one point so that added some distance.  Scott is so dang strong.  Makes me want to get into he gym and lift.  When I grow up I want to be strong like Scott. :-)

It was good to see Kelli and Scott.  Nice to talk to Britta, I met Britta last time, but actually talked for a minute.  I did get chicked at the end.  Dang kids, just to much energy for this old man.  :-)

Good run guys.  Thank you for letting me tag along!

Ok, no miles yet today.  I will be getting out sometime, I hope.

Here is the fun race!  It is sooner than I thought though.   Nutcracker 5k  Saturday, Dec 6 - TuTu time!

Who is in? 

 

Good song that I will listen to in a few minutes when I go running.  If you have seen the movie Last of the Mohicans you will remember the song.  The movie has some pretty good violence, so here are two links, this one that has the song but no movie clips that I remember, and this one that has a bunch of clips from the movie, thus some pretty good violence.  (Oh, kinda long as well)

Ran up Provo Canyon.  Had an ok pace going up, was kinda cold.  Pushed a little on the way down.  Down hill sure hits the knees hard.  But was nice to have a faster pace though.

I'm looking forward to running on T-day for the Turkey 4 miler, then seeing everyone on Sat.

Met a few people up in Lehi and ran the Jordan River Parkway trail. Nice run. There were people I didn't know, so SORRY if I miss your name. But people I did know, or just met were Kelli and her husband Scott, and Tyler S and his wife Kellie, and Michelle L., Smooth and I'm pretty sure I saw Maurine, I think she got there late.

Michelle and Tyler and Scott took off for some speed work about mile 6. I was not able to keep up. Wish I was in better shape, then I could think about staying within shouting distance.

Was nice seeing everyone out there. Kelli - Next time I will have Swedish fish for you, my move has got me all turned around and I forgot to bring them.

Good run guys, thanks for dragging this old guy along.

PS - I just got back from my moms house, my sister made me a TuTu for this coming Saturday Nutcracker 5k.  Who is going to be there?
