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.

Have been lazy this week. I was helping a friend all day Monday and never got to run, and if I don't get out Monday I probably wont get out until Wednesday because I have a lot of things scheduled on Tuesdays.

Ran over towards the old neiborhood this evening. I'm probably just a big wimp, but the hill from State St to Main or 400 E or 800 E on 2000 N. just beats me up everytime. Tonight I wimped out and went to Main, then down to 1600 N. Then I went more East to 400 E. Real runners go up 2000. :-(

Room for improvement.

Looks like you had an awesome run today!! Nice pace.

So, you going up 2000 tomorrow??? (Wherever that is!!)

Sorry Teena, 2000, I meant 2000 N. Darn street gets me! I will start running that hill more often, not sure I will get it tomorrow, but I will get to it more!

Thanks for the words of encouragement jona. Good luck qualifying for Boston! I'm working on just being able to run this crazy amount of miles but hopefully that turns into qualifying as well...

GREAT JOB, JON!!!! You WILL conquer that hill.

From jona on Thu, Nov 06, 2008 at 16:04:53

I hope so. I don't walk on it, but it sure would be nice to run up it at a good pace and not feel like I'm about dead.
