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')

I was going to go in the morning, then my son informed me that I had to take he and his buddy to their football game in the morning.  Well they had to be there by 7:30, that meant I had to be back home by 7, which meant hitting the trail by 5, out of bed by 4:30.  YUCK!  So I slept.  Thinking I could get started after the football game.  NOT.

So, I finally got out about 5 PM.  I ran up Provo Canyon,  Went passed Vivan on South Fork and up to South Fork Canyon Park.  I think that is about (almost) half way to the parking lot. ( I think that is Spring Hallow) then went back down.  The up really wiped me out.  I need to get the legs stronger.  The gym will be seeing me!!!

I did get a mile in on the track by my sons football game before it started, then 15 in the eve.

 

2:10/8:41 pace.

I had two somewhat lengthy stoped or walking spots, my son called me and need Dad to be able to talk more than breath heavy, so I walked while I was talking to him for about 2:30, and then another when I stoped to take some GU, and water.  So I think my pace was slightly better than how it turned out, but who knows, maybe I would have been more tired and not been as fast.

Thanks Marion, I'm fearful that I'm not getting enough long runs in. This 15 was tough.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Great job JON! I can not believe you ran in that heat. YUCK, but a necessary evil when we have kids to cart all over! I bet your speed would have been even faster had it not been so hot.

Walking is rejuvenating, it helps more than it hurts---at least I think so!

Thanks Kelli. It was hot. I had the throw up feeling at the very end. About 1.5 miles from my turn around point I saw two lady's going down the hill they didn't look like they had run up the hill, so I thought, "there is my rabbit, catch them if I can!" So me going up, them going down, I caught them at the dang very end of my route. :-)

Ah, you duded them! Good for you! Now, we have to get you a spot in St George if you are gonna do these long, pukey runs!
