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')

Nice easy 3 miles with Kelly in the cold morning air.  I missed Sat due to I had to work.  We had a problem that had to be fixed right then.  That problem made me miss Fri and Say run.  :-(  Oh well, I'm in winter mode for now.

That being said, who is running Jan races in SG?  If I remember a bunch of us ran last year.

I am doing the SG half(Painters). With the wife. Should be fun. Did you get in the runners series? And welcome back.

From Jon A on Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 12:28:30 from 67.214.249.195

Hey Mark, I did get in the Runners Series. Not sure what races I am doing, guess I should sign up for them so I don't miss them. Kelly is wanting to get into some running. Maybe I can get her ready for a half in that time frame. I enjoyed Painters last year.

From Huans32 on Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 12:31:07 from 138.64.2.76

Nice. Yeah I did Spectrum and Painters. My wife is into Tri's too. Looks like we are going to be down in SG alot in the next few months.

From Jon A on Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 12:34:59 from 67.214.249.195

Are you doing any tri's? What tri's is your wife doing?

From Huans32 on Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 12:36:53 from 138.64.2.76

I might do a Dua down in SG in Feb I think. And she has a list of like 4-5 her and her friend plan on doing. Most of them down South. She wants to do Spudman which I wouldn't mind doing. And I think Jordanelle again.

From Kelli on Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 18:40:01 from 71.219.71.229

I AM RUNNING Painters, are you???

How are ya married man?

From Jon A on Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 19:48:50 from 67.214.249.195

Hey Kelli, I don't know if I'm running Painters or not. Hope they don't fill up.

All is well on married lane!

You guys running much?

From Kelli on Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 22:40:22 from 71.219.71.229

Just every day but Sunday!!!! How 'bout you?

From Smooth on Tue, Dec 01, 2009 at 23:23:32 from 71.52.65.202

Hey Jon & Kelly (with a 'Y') ~

How y'all doing? Hope you had a GREAT Thanksgiving and fully recovered from all the turkey and trimmings.

I AM running Painter's...to fulfill one of the Runner Series! I just signed up for the Grand Slam too! Not sure what I'm doing!

From Smooth on Wed, Dec 09, 2009 at 15:39:59 from 174.23.201.210

Just dropping by to say HI! How ya doing?

From Jon A on Wed, Dec 09, 2009 at 15:50:02 from 67.214.249.195

Hey Smooth, How are things going? I think I have Kelly and one or two of her friends talked into Painters. Would be a blast to have a little party.

From Kelli on Wed, Dec 09, 2009 at 20:10:20 from 71.219.71.229

I will be there (Scott will not). We should have a dinner or something, that would be fun!

From Smooth on Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 11:18:17 from 174.23.217.47

I vote for dinner Fri night too. I'm going down with Teena, Prez not coming. Keep us posted, please!

From Kelli on Thu, Dec 24, 2009 at 00:14:19 from 71.219.95.151

HEY!!!!! Have a very MeRrY ChRiStMaS!!

From Smooth on Sun, Dec 27, 2009 at 22:26:59 from 174.23.217.47

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

From Jon A on Sun, Dec 27, 2009 at 23:08:01 from 66.182.65.44

Happy holidays Smooth and Kelli! Hope you both have had a great holiday season.

From Smooth on Fri, Jan 01, 2010 at 22:20:25 from 174.23.217.47

HAPPY NEW YEAR Jon & Kelly! 2010 is gonna be a great year for you and yours!

From Kelli on Tue, Jan 05, 2010 at 17:18:01 from 71.219.96.112

HI JON! Are you two gonna run Painters? I can not remember if you ever said for sure.

From Jon A on Tue, Jan 05, 2010 at 17:29:11 from 67.214.249.195

Hey Kelli, we have talked about it, but haven't been running much. Probably should get off our hind ends. :-)

You and Scott are for sure ya?

From Kelli on Tue, Jan 05, 2010 at 17:31:11 from 71.219.96.112

I am, Scott is not. We are cutting way back on racing this year, we spent a small fortune last year. PLUS, I just do not really like the pressure, it stresses me out! I am pacing a friend, otherwise I would not be going. BUT I am looking forward to a break from my kids!

Now, get off your butt and RUN!

From Jon A on Tue, Jan 05, 2010 at 17:35:10 from 67.214.249.195

I'm still in limbo as to how much I want to run. I like it, but I like being with Kelly more, Sooooooo. I need to see where her commitments are with running/biking/swimming. We have talked about doing some tri's. But we are with you on the expense, and tri's are more expensive than running.

From Kelli on Tue, Jan 05, 2010 at 17:36:57 from 71.219.96.112

I am with you 100%---do what you can do together!! But, that will include a little running.

From Smooth on Thu, Jan 07, 2010 at 18:16:45 from 174.23.217.47

It was GOOD to see you two running together on Sat. :) :)

You're SO RIGHT...good to have a balance with the right priorities!

From Jon A on Thu, Jan 07, 2010 at 20:12:09 from 67.214.249.195

Thanks Smooth, it was good to see you too. I'm sure we will bump into you more.
