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.

AM:

Was going to run up to Bridal Vail, but they had the trail blocked because of fire.

Ran into a friend at the top, ran down with him. Was an easy run, working my way back up in miles per week. This makes fourth day in a row. Yeah, will shoot for five days next week. So, this week I had a 6.75, 3.75, 3.15, and a 7 for 20.65. Next week I will shoot for 26. So, get a good start and go out MONDAY!!!!

7 miles/ 56.22 min/ 8:03 pace

PM:

Wasn't planning on running anymore Sat. but the treadmil was looking lonely and I felt the urge, so I went for a 3 mile jog on the t'mill. That sure is boring. Took advantage of the speed knowledge and bumped up the pace to 6:30 for .25, and 7:00-7:30 a couple times for 1.5 or so. Then sat at 8:00 for the remainder.

You did it! Four days in a row--good job and keep it up.

Thanks for the encouragement Michelle!

Hey, I know you run with Mattk every now and then, don't let him slack up now that he beat his goals!

I already invited him to a speed workout on Tuesday. I think that might be too close to his marathon, but would be happy to have his company. We are really close in fitness so I'm glad when I can drive up and run with him.

Hey! no talking behind my back! I don't need baby sitters! Okay, maybe I do. Yeah, I definitely push it more when Michelle is around. On that note, I think I'm out for tomorrow Michelle. My right quad is still a little tender and beat. Anyway Jon, I wanted to say congrats on getting a string of runs together. I know you've had a lot of things in life/work/injuries that have been pulling away, but you're doing well. Nice distance and pace!
