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')

Got my hind end outside today. Thats two runs in a row outside. My body is going to FREAK out.

Decided to run up Provo Canyon. The path was clear in a couple places, but ice/snow pack on most of it. Add wind and going up the canyon and it feels like your going backwards for the most part. Which got me thinking about some posts I've seen on the blog that use math formula's to calculate different things. So I was wondering what actual pace I was running concidering the yucky factors. I know I was working a lot harder when I was going up to hold that pace.

Oh well, my legs felt heavy, I was on ice and snow and wind blowing in my face, but I got out and I got miles and at least I wasn't walking the miles.

Have a great day!

Nice miles man! Outside is a must! I had to roll down the windows in the car today ;)

Ahem - 'At least I wasn't walking the miles?'

Is that a dig at me?????

We must have had different weather!! We did have some snow while we ran, but it was flippin' hot when we finished!

Great job on your backwards run in the wind and mess! Do not let it scare you from doing it again.

Jon, CONGRATULATIONS for getting out there!!! GOOD JOB braving the elements!!! It's gonna make you a stronger runner. You're gonna fly down them hills at Spectrum.

From jona on Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 03:06:14

Marion, Wasn't outside just wonderful?

Maurine, Would never make a dig at you!

Kelli and Smooth, thanks for the encouragement. I sure like running outside, just don't like the cold. I will be outside more this week for sure, don't know about tomorrow, its supposed to be cold and wet during the night and in the AM.

Smooth, I doubt I'll fly! I don't know why, but I am really looking forward to running Spectrum. Have you run it before? (ok, I guess I do know why, KELLY is running it too! YEAH!)

From Smooth on Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 15:18:13

Jon, you're breaking your outside running streak!!! Did you miss your Wed wake up call? or still day dreaming about Kelly?

From jona on Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 15:24:01

Always dreaming of Kelly. :-)

Going out running tonight!
