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.

Night run again. Ran a route that I knew would give me a good hill. Hit the hill during the 3rd mile. Tried to pick up the pace here and there during each mile, not sure it did anything for me, but I did it. I think when I get serious about this running thing I will try that speed work stuff like run .25 miles 20 times as fast I can with rest in between.

Nice run my friend!! Have a great day!!!

From Kelli on Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 14:46:56

Are you not serious??? I thought you were.

Great job on the hill JON! Seriously, HOW did I ever chick you? I have a feeling it will not ever happen again. I do not run that fast unless i am running DOWNHILL.

Have a phenomenal day!

Kelli, you and I both know there are more levels of serious. For me, I have a lot of room to improve and be more serious with.

I guess to be more clear for me I need to have more focus, more dedication. I see you and Scott getting out every morning, going 7,8,9 and even 10 miles a day, and I struggle to get out of bed. Its a good thing for me to put up 2 days in a row.

I'm getting there, slowly but surly. My mind is getting more and more focus.

Thank you for the encouragement!

Funny thing is, I really am not that serious! But Scott sure is! I diddn't get out of bed this morning if that helps you any! I wish you lived closer, we would camp out on your front porch and make you come out and run! But, hey, this am stuff is almost over for me---back to evening running when the air gets cooler!

You are awesome, no matter what you think!!

Do you still want to try to do St George? I am talking to Scott on the phone right now and he is e-mailing to see if anyone has dropped out.

From jona on Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 16:00:04

Crap, your not "that serious". That does it. When you come to chick me next time I'm running backwards. Then I can say we were going different directions.

I think I have switched at least for this week to PM running. I'll pay for it Saturday when I have to get up early...ha - who am I kidding, I haven't been up early on Sat in 3,4 weeks. Never mind.

From Kelli on Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 16:14:49

I really am not! Scott pushes me---you witnessed it. I hate to disappoint, that is all! I do want to do well in St George, that is why I was willing to try a little harder. but all of my runs are typically in the high 8's and low 9's. I just hate to push. I will in a race, but that is it. If I were serious, I would be trying to get faster, and I am not!

Okay, we will drive to Utah County and park on your front porch at 4:45 am on Saturday morning! Oh, wait, then I would have to get up at like 3:30. Never mind.

From jona on Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 16:38:02

Your a good runner, when if you decide to get faster, you will have some incredible times on your races. !!!

That is funny about coming to Ut County. Like you could get Scott to get off I-15. :-)))))

From Kelli on Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 16:40:26

Ah, he'd do it for you. He likes you! But neither of us are willing to get up that early, so you are out of luck!

Next year I am aiming for a sub 3 hour marathon! Yeah, right. Next year I am aiming to be the wife waiting at the finish line to cheer people one. Yeah right on that one, too---I am too competitive to stand by and watch! I do not have to win, but I do have to race.

From jona on Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 16:58:52

I don't blame you guys for not getting up that early. There is no way I would. Maybe later in the year (cooler) I can drive up for a Sat run or something.

I'm not that competitive, I like to be better than myself, and am disappointed when I don't do as well as I would like to. It would be cool to drop my PR on the marathon to under 3:15, but I know I have to be much more serious, much more dedicated. I kinda like where I am. I can see myself getting serious enough to get to 3:20, but not much better than that.
