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.

Well, I was shooting for at least 6, I started running was about .5 miles from the truck and work called. Turn around go back to the truck to discover as I was getting out of the truck I grabbed the wrong keys, locked the door, thus my truck keys were in the truck. Well, need to get to work, so I just ran to the office (1.5 or so). Worked on the problem, had my son drop some keys off to me, ran back to the truck. Now I'm well into the work day so I just called it good.

Have a great day!

Good reason not to carry cell phone when running (no work calls) but also good reason to carry so when locked out, you have a phone:) Great pace. Keep truckin'!

Thanks Michelle, I considered not answering, but when the boss calls in the am like that it is usually not the greatest news. I would prefer more time between runs if I'm going to split them up. Oh, and more distance on each end would have been preferable.

Bummer when the universe converges against us! Good miles though!!! hang in there! Nice paces :)

From jona on Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 14:21:41

Thats funny Marion, you know how long its been since I locked my keys in the car? Probably something like 13-14 years. I'm so ashamed of myself. :-)

Now if I can get the stars to align on a race, for good rather than trying to stop me.

Sounds like your boss is a real "captain" You must have a lot on your mind if you locked your keys in the car. Have a good weekend - RUN RUN RUN

From Kelli on Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 16:55:38

I saw a 6 in there. You are a machine. Good run for a hot Friday.

From jona on Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 17:02:07

The 6 was all downhill, I was testing my relax and let the hill take me down the road technique. Had I known it was only .05 from going under 6 I would have tried to speed up rather than just relax. Long legs help, let the stride lengthen and speed goes right up.

From Kelli on Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 17:06:16

I actually get slower running downhill. It hurts my knee BAD.

Downhill a little or not, 6 is fast. When will I ever get you to admit you are fast?? We need to get you a really good marathon finish time, then I will beat it out of you.

From jona on Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 17:22:51

NEVER, as long as you are faster than I, I am slow. Your the fast one! :-) (and I haven't even began to talk about Scott, oh my fast!!!!!)

I will have a faster marathon time next year for sure. When I didn't make the draw this year I completely lost focus, I ran 2 times a week at most, and just didn't care. Next year I will be signed up with the runners series and I will run those races and get a guarantee entry.

From jona on Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 17:24:27

Oh Kelli, are you doing the pushup challenge? I got a bunch of people from work to go for it with me. I pre-tested today, we start Monday.

From Kelli on Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 20:42:56

I started with day one of the push up challenge and then forgot. BUT I WILL DO IT MONDAY! I am on board. Let's see who gets to 100 first. I think you may have me on that one since I did a whole whoppin' 12 on my pre-test. They were pretty iffy as far as form goes. I really think I may go back to girl push-ups because, after all, I am a girl!!!

Look at how fast you are when you lose focus. Maybe you should do it more often.

From jona on Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 23:15:05

No way on the loosing focus stuff. I don't EVER want another year like this last one!!!!!!

This girl at work does pushups 3-4 times a week, she joined with the group, she pre-tested at 40! I told her she just chicked every guy. BUT, I hadn't done my pretest yet, so I knew what I had to do. I did 41 and called it good. Glad I have some swimming muscles left over.

From Kelli on Sat, Sep 20, 2008 at 17:30:05

41---very impressive.

From jona on Sat, Sep 20, 2008 at 17:41:53

Good to be mr skinny, and was very glad to have had some swimming muscle still hanging around. I'll be doing more swimming and biking here in two weeks. I am going to run a tri here in Orem in early Nov.

Ok- jon- what is your weigh loss experince you were talkin about when I was whining about not believing that I can drop to my high school weight ? TELL THE STORY!!!
