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')

Got home from work and got the backpack on.  Ran down to the bottom of the hill that is in the Turkey Tri coming up in a couple weeks.  I ran this route last Thursday, but this time I turned off and went to the fitness center and swam some laps.  I wanted more but took 300 meters.  Then ran home.

He LIVES!!! Hey you! Great running and swimming. You know, people who can't swim , run ;)

Good luck with the Tri!

From jona on Tue, Oct 07, 2008 at 13:41:37

Hey you back! Yeah I'm alive.

Are you asking if I know anyone that can't swim or run?

Anyone can do these little tri's. When are we going to see you in one Marion? Your on that bike so much, and you have the run down.

From Marion\ on Tue, Oct 07, 2008 at 13:47:27

I'm sort of a chicken :) I was not it the pool all summer and can't get it in this year. (lame excuse) Right now I really just want to focus on a sub 2 hour half.

Crap! I need to focus on a shower and cleaning the kitchen! I am so easily distratcted from the stuff I hate doing!!

From jona on Tue, Oct 07, 2008 at 14:28:48

I'm easily distracted from stuff too. CRAP, like work. I should work more.

You so can get to that sub 2. I know you can. Hey, are you running that "Save a Sister" race in SG?

From Marion\ on Tue, Oct 07, 2008 at 14:32:30

I didn't get into the series :( So I am up for the lottery and in no rush to race in Washington Co. :D Not making it into the series took a ton of stress off of me. What time did you regiser for it? I logged on at noon on Monday and it was full. I was at work. I should have had someone else register me. Oh well :D It's all good!

From jona on Tue, Oct 07, 2008 at 14:36:50

Oh man I am bummed to hear that you didn't get in the series. I got my confirmation email at 9:24. I'm glad I didn't put it off. Last year I heard people were registering two days later.

From Marion\ on Tue, Oct 07, 2008 at 14:38:09

Win some, lose some! Who knows- maybe I'll make it in the Lottery. People do, you know! ;)

From jona on Tue, Oct 07, 2008 at 14:50:13

Yeah, people do, but I didn't this last year and I can't tell you how bummed I was/am about not running this year. I hope you get in. It will be major fun next year with all the friends we have from the blog.

From Kelli on Wed, Oct 08, 2008 at 14:42:09

Why the backpack? Did you need to carry some extra weight?

And, not everyone can swim. I would drown for sure.

From marion on Wed, Oct 08, 2008 at 14:51:15

He hides is disguise's in it!

From jona on Wed, Oct 08, 2008 at 16:40:59

Funny Marion, funny. Its actually my mask that I wear so that I'm more generally accepted in public. I'm just hideous! :-)

I carried my swim gear in the pack, swim suit, goggles, cap, towel...... It was heavier on the way home. Everything was wet. You know what that is like don't you Kelli?

Kelli, I know you could do it. You are a determined person. I would think that you would love tri's. You like to do different things.

From Kelli on Wed, Oct 08, 2008 at 18:33:36

I figured out the bag later, but it was too late to erase the dumb question! I bet it was heavy, though! Dang water!

I ABSOLUTELY hate water!!! HATE IT! I do not get in the ocean EVER and it takes some serious coaxing by my 3 year old to even get me into a swimming pool. I just really hate it! I need a bi (instead of a tri). The biking would be fun with the running!!!

From jona on Wed, Oct 08, 2008 at 19:43:49

You do know they have dua/bi-athlons.

Here is one:

Whats with the dis-like of water?

From Kelli on Wed, Oct 08, 2008 at 19:50:41

I am sure it comes from sometime in the womb. I bet I just freaked out the entire time I was in that scary, dark, cramped, wet place. All of my phobias in one place! BLAME IT ON THE WOMB!

From Kelli on Wed, Oct 08, 2008 at 19:53:13

I did not mean to submit that---I was not done.

Where on earth is Huntington? I do not own a bike, but I would like one for Christmas if Santa will bring me one! I did not know they had just bike and run races, but I am in!!! Scott wants to do tri's, I will do Duo's (I like the name Bi's better).

Great, now I have to work on that!

From jona on Wed, Oct 08, 2008 at 20:15:44

Singing - "Blame it on the womb" Milli Vanilli.

You and Scott could do relay's on tri's. (Scott could do the swim part) I think if you could conquer your fear of water, you would LOVE tri's. As much "other" stuff that you do, you would love them!

From Kelli on Thu, Oct 09, 2008 at 09:04:42

That is so funny, because I was singing that song while I was typing my "blame it on the womb!" Ah, good ole Milli Vanilli!!!

I think I do not believe in conquering my fears. We will see...

From jona on Thu, Oct 09, 2008 at 12:02:42

Oh come on, did you swim when you were a kid?

I know you can conquer your fear if you want to.

From Kelli on Thu, Oct 09, 2008 at 12:29:00

Nope, i did not. I got in the water and played, but I never swam. I mastered the art of jumping off the diving board without going under. For real---it can be done.

It is just not my cup of tea. But, who knew running would be a few years ago? Right?

From jona on Thu, Oct 09, 2008 at 12:33:03

What about hot tub's? That more your speed? Maybe you could get someone to let you scoooooot around the edge of a hot tub for the swim part. :)

I'm just teasing you. You do so many different things to stay in shape, it seems like a natural fit to do tri's. Your awesome girl!

From Kelli on Thu, Oct 09, 2008 at 12:43:14

Nope, hate hot tubs. Will not get in them. I will sit on the edge and put my feet in, though sometimes. On our 15th anniversary we sat out in the nice hot tub at the super plush hotel---Scott in it, me on the side, in a chair, reading a book. Fun times.

From jona on Thu, Oct 09, 2008 at 12:49:34

LOL! Kelli, what are we going to do about this? That is funny!

From Kelli on Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 21:39:18

HEY!! You did not run the marathon (rude reminder, I know) so what is with taking the rest of the week off? Are you slackin'?

From jona on Sat, Oct 11, 2008 at 02:02:54

I am slacking. I'm going out tomorrow. I HATE getting up in the morning, and this week I have been kept busy with kids events or birthdays EVERY night. So, running has taken a back seat. Just a lame excuse. I'll be back more next week. Thanks for calling me out!

From Kelli on Sun, Oct 12, 2008 at 09:46:34

I hate getting up early, too. I am trying my dangdest to NOT do it!
