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')

Decided to run up Murdock Canal Rd. None paved roads are harder to run on. At about mile 10, I got a text msg and started to walk to return the message. Forgot to turn my watch off, so my pace was really slow in that mile/2. Other than that, I'm tired, YEAH, got 13 in!

Oh, and the wind heading North, just one thing to say about about that.... in the now famous word of Teena "STINK!"

Have a great day all!

13 miles??? How sweet is that!!

(Nice pace btw)

From britta on Sun, Dec 14, 2008 at 11:25:32

Great Pace and miles! Is everyone getting together to run this coming Sat.?

From jona on Sun, Dec 14, 2008 at 14:12:45

Teena, pretty sweet! I was thinking this morning how I look forward to getting up to higher miles. So that 13 isn't as hard on me. Will be nice when 16-18 are the longer runs.

Britta, I hope some can get together. I've been talking to Kelli about it. More the better right? I don't know how far everyone is thinking. I'll probably be planning on 15.

Nice baker's dozen there!

From Kelli on Sun, Dec 14, 2008 at 20:59:01

Hey, way to do a long awesome run on your own---without me nagging you or anything!!!

Texting while running?? Should be against the law!

From jona on Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 02:37:34

Maurine, I've always like bakers dozen. Never hurts to have an extra of something from the baker!

Kelli, I'm trying to be better about getting out without you having to nag. :-) I wasn't being dangerous with my texting. I still had one eye on the road. :-D

Oh, your texting comment made me remember, I was on the canal road that goes from Orem up to point of the mountain, there is a point the AF Temple is near by, I stopped a couple out on a walk and had them take a picture of me w/temple in the background. One of those Ahhhh, beautiful moments on a run! I'll have to upload the picture to Facebook.

RUN, JON, RUN!!!!!

I do not think we need any water dropped for Saturday. No one is going to run 20! Do you think the trail will be okay to run on? It is gonna snow the rest of the week, but not Saturday (it is gonna be freezing cold, though!) Maybe we should go check it out.

Have you talked your friend into coming? I will run with her. My knee is bugging me some today, so I will not be going too fast!

From jona on Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 15:48:00

Hey Kelli, I'll try and get out tonight. I was trying to talk my friend into coming with us on our run Sat, she said that she is just uncomfortable with the speed. I'll go running with her and her group once and she will see there is no speed to worry about. She even knows "Smooth". I invited her and her group, maybe one day!

From tarzan on Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 16:01:16

Jon - you might want to tell her that Leslie and I run between 11:30-12:30 a mile - which is pretty slow.

From jona on Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 17:33:43

Maurine, I told her we have people running at a wide variety of speeds and distances (I think I even said that there are some that run 11-12 min pace).

I'll get her out. Once good weather hits she will be biking. (Tri-girl!) She loves to bike! I'll still work on her.
