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 on the JRP up in Midvale.  ( I think that is where it was.  About 6800 South)  

 

We ran from the parking lot south, and the path comes to a dead end after about 3 miles.  Kelly told me that if you know how to take the streets for a bit we could connect to the path again and keep going south.  We turned around.  :-)

On the north side we ran 6 miles then turned around.  We saw Teena and her brother and her SIL.  They looked strong and fast.  They invited us to run with them, but we opt'd to let them go on there own and not slow them down.  That proved to be a wise choice.  at about mile 11 I fell apart.  I felt that I'm gonna vomit with every step.  I usually don't feel like that on longer runs and slower paces.  It was the same feeling I have had at the end of my faster run races.  (not that I'm fast, just that I pushed myself.) 

Anyway, we did a lot of the run/walk from then on.  But we finished the 18 miles.

 

I hope that is just a passing something, I really want Kelly to have a successful long run and then feel good in SG.

 

Happy trails all.

Hey, you got'er done, that's what counts! sorry about the pukey feeling! may be it was the heat or a little dehydrated? did any running stores set up aid stations?

so the section that was flooded on the north side is opened now? It sure was a stinky swamp the last time we ran there! It made me almost puke too!

so glad you two had a nice 18 miler together! Kelly is gonna do great at SGM!!!

Hey Smooth, Yep, that trail is open again. It didn't stink this time and the path was dry.

Kelly is looking forward to running with you sometime, hopefully we can tag along with you soon. :-)

Let's do! I really enjoy running with Kelly! I need to run 16-18 this Sat. We'll see where everyone wants to run and keep you posted!

Smooth, we are running Fri morning instead of Sat this week, we have the high school ballroom team sleeping at our house Fri night, so no longish run on Sat for us. We will get some miles in, but not until later in the morning, then we will probably go to the legacy center.
