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.

Married to Kelly (with a 'Y')

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!

It was good to see you again Jon. Too bad you guys are so fast - I don't get to really talk with you speedy ones.

From leslie on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 14:58:32

It makes it fun to know we are meeting you guys to start our run and we get to see you fly by us. I am a pretty good dancer aren't I? It was a great morning, and I look forward to the next time. Have a great weekend!

From jona on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 15:01:15

Maurine and Leslie, it was good to see you too.

Awesome dancer Leslie! :-)

I really like meeting up with everyone. Even if we don't "run together."

We will have to try harder to run with you guys next time. Good run!

From leslie on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 15:28:08

That would be torture for you to slow down that much! We are so happy to sweep the trail for you and start our mornings together, but that was nice of you to say!!!

From Kelli on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 16:11:12

Hey, Leslie, you guys BEAT us to the car!!!

From Kelli on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 16:16:54

That was NOT a chicking, by the way. Totally does not count.

And Scott is strong, too strong for his own good sometimes!

From leslie on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 16:19:38

Kelli, we are pretty speedy!!!

From jona on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 17:03:49

Leslie, I agree with Kelli, you beat us to the car. We barely got there to see you drive off.

Kelli, lets see, I was running, you and Britta were running, you guys passed me. HUMMMMM, CHICKED! AGAIN!

From jona on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 17:05:36

Leslie, PS - Really, it is good to slow down sometimes. I would enjoy getting to know you Harold and Maurine. I really like Odee, what kind of dog is he?

From Kelli on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 17:06:43

I believe you were walking. Not to mention that you added some extra miles running back to get us as we WALKED from fatigue!

Isn't Odee a lab?

From jona on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 17:15:55

I was fatigued, just another way I got chicked. You guys are in way better shape.

I don't think Odee is a lab, maybe some lab in there, but not full. He is bigger than a lab.

From Kelli on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 17:23:42

I just thought he was a BIG lab.

By the way, you look skinnier?!? Have you lost weight. And, if so, why can't I?

From jona on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 17:35:09

That is dang funny Kelli. I don't keep track of weight. I do know I haven't been eating really well, so it wouldn't surprise me if I'm down.

For what its worth, I don't think you need to loose another pound.

From leslie on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 17:38:08

Odee is half Golden Retriever and half Great Pyranese,we shave him, he has a long coat normally.

Jon you need to come do the Red Mountain 50K with us too!!!

From jona on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 17:48:07

I wondered if there were some Pyranese in him. Wonderful for you to have such a friend.

I don't think I could run 50 if there were a steak at the end.

From leslie on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 17:57:04

It is only 32 miles! You speedsters just have to take it slow and enjoy the scenery, I think it is easier than a marathon because you do slow down and soak it all in! You would love it.

From leslie on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 17:58:26

And there is definitely a steak at the end and an ice cream sundae!!!

From jona on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 17:59:29

First of all, The running endorphins must be getting to your head, I'm not a speedster.

I'll have to look at that race. Would be cool to be able to say I ran 50.

From leslie on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 18:01:07

Check out the Website and then sign up for heavens sake Jon!

From jona on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 18:05:31

Well, there is a steak at the end. Then I am way more interested.

I'm checking the website now.

From Teena on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 19:02:51

Nice run Jon!!

Sounds like you all had such a good time this morning. Hope you all do it again sometime in the near future and that I am able to tag along!!! Super fun stuff.

NICE!!

From jona on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 19:10:29

Thanks Teena.

I hope we run some more. I wish I lived up that way so I could run more with all you guys. It will be fun when you back, stronger and faster!

From Kelli on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 22:25:45

Thanks Jon. (I will pay you later!!!) I am actually pretty darn happy where I am, I just have this little goal to get below what I weighed when I got married just to see how it feels. But, I like food. That is an understatement! I LOVE food.

You need to eat better, then! I will send you some more recipes for my fattening food, and I will being you Kneaders for lunch every day! That ought to do it!

And Odee is a beautiful dog!

From Kelli on Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 22:30:32

I just noticed Leslie said, "ONLY 32 MILES!!" What kind of a crazy person says ONLY????

From jona on Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 13:34:37

I'll take any recipes I can get. I too love food, love to cook. But cooking for one STINKS. I only have the kids two nights a week.

From tarzan on Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 14:15:02

Jon - I can really relate to that. Since my divorce I swear I either live on tuna fish sandwiches or protein shakes or frozen food. It seems like too much work to cook just for myself and I have to break that habit.

From Kelli on Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 16:19:49

Just half the recipes, then you have leftovers for a few meals. Or cook the stuff you can freeze! Look at me talk as if I am an expert!

What kind of recipes do you want?? I still need to post the KILLER Chili recipe (wins every time at the Chili cook-off). However, it makes a TON, but I hear it freezes well.

From britta on Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 23:05:28

Really you are going to consider a 50K? The thought of one terrifies me!!!!

Happy running this week.

From jona on Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 00:53:58

Maurine, I would like to change those darn cooking habits to. When the kids are over I cook, but not much if any when they aren't.

Kelli, I would love the Chili recipe. I like easy, and Italian.

Britta, you could run a 50k this week, you and Kelli didn't even break a sweat on Sat. :-) You guys are awesome. Its only 10k further than the marathon.

From Kelli on Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 13:09:06

It is NOT an easy recipe, though. It is an all afternoon event. You would have to cook it on a Saturday or Sunday or a day off of some kind!

I will post it tonight for ya!

From Kelli on Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 13:16:25

YOU ARE A HOT DISCUSSION!!!!!

From jona on Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 13:28:51

Kelli, I still want the recipe. I don't mind recipes that take a long time. Easy to me is more that I understand what to do. Like I have no idea what "Heavy Sauce Pan" is.

From Kelli on Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 13:33:41

IMPROVISE!!! I do not either, in fact, I do not even know what a saucepan is. A pan that it will fit in is all I care about!

It is an easy recipe, just takes time!! I will get it here when I have time to type it tonight!

From jona on Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 14:06:57

Thanks. I get scared off or do like you said and improvise from recipes when I don't know some of the things they want me to do. But I will learn.

Thanks again, I'm looking forward to the recipe.
