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')

Ran at the fitness center again.  My left leg is giving me a bunch of pain.  My knee is tight and just bellow my calf is sore.  I seemed hard to lift my lower legs.  I think this cold is hitting my muscles pretty hard.  Is that even possible?

Well, a little slower than yesterday, good run all in all.  Flat flat track, time should probably be better than this.

CRAP!! Go see Dr BRady and have him beat you down so you can run with joy and glee at Painters!!!

From tarzan on Fri, Jan 09, 2009 at 12:26:20

Jon - sorry to hear you are struggling. Yes, colds can affect muscles. I actually had a cold in my back muscles once and was miserable for a week or so.

From jona on Fri, Jan 09, 2009 at 12:52:37

Marion - ?Dr Brady? Beat me down? I'm not sure I'm seeing joy in glee.

Maurine - I'm not wanting to hear that. I hope I can push this out before next week. It will stink being the last person to finish the race next week. :-)

From Marion on Fri, Jan 09, 2009 at 13:00:13

Dr Brady is magic. Michelle and I just joke about the beatings :) 375-2420 You might be able to get in if you call soon. If you think it might be really hurt, I'd go in. That's his number :)

From jona on Fri, Jan 09, 2009 at 13:06:26

Marion, Dr Brady, is he a massage guy, Chiropractor ....? How much does he charge? I've never been to anyone for a "beating" before. :-)

From Marion on Fri, Jan 09, 2009 at 13:26:46

He is a Sports Medicine Chiropractor. He does a lot with massage and acupuncture. It's $40ish for regular patients and more for the first visit, but I am not sure the amt. I know Michelle just pays her regular Dr. co-pay. My insurance has my visits go toward my deductible. Natalie, the receptionist can probably tell you a bit better. If you think you might be hurt- I'd go ;)

From jona on Fri, Jan 09, 2009 at 13:29:13

Cool, I'll see how it goes. Would be nice to get worked over.

From Marion on Fri, Jan 09, 2009 at 13:34:29

I think you'll be happy. If you call right now, maybe they can get you in today :) He's kinda busy some time.

From britta on Fri, Jan 09, 2009 at 14:13:38

Seriously so slow, could you pick it up a little? I hope you can sense my sarcasim through the computer world.

What's this I hear about a woman???!!!! Did I miss that blog?

From jona on Fri, Jan 09, 2009 at 14:30:19

Hey Britta, thanks for the sarcasm. You didn't miss a blog, maybe a comment, but there is a girl that has caught my interest. BIG :-) from me on that subject.

Hey, are you running Painters?

From britta on Fri, Jan 09, 2009 at 15:44:24

Very nice!!! I guess I will have to get better at reading between the lines. Hopefully you have some plans with her this weekend.

No I am not running painters, are you? Were you hoping I was coming so you could kick my butt?

From jona on Fri, Jan 09, 2009 at 17:15:45

Britta, Yeah right, me kick your butt. Very funny. I just needed to know so I know how many times I'm getting chicked. Hopefully Kelli runs slow, and Teena is getting peer pressure to go, but not signed that I know of. So, right now I'm mostly worried about Kelli. If you were going then I would be double worried. Then in the back of my mind there are those that can just sneak up and kick my trash. Ughhhh.

See, I don't want to ever run with the "BBK"'s, because then I would know more women that would totally chick me. :-)

From Kelli on Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 17:50:24

And those BBK women are FAST (I am the slowest by miles)!!! Jon, I am running slow, no worries! Today's run is proof that I am still not ready for anything minutely fast. So, here is a question: What time are you shooting for? And will you hang around to cheer me on as i finish?

And, to add to what Britta said, GEESH!!! You are so darn slow, I wish you would pick it up a little on your runs!

Hope you are feeling better!! We need you well, this is your race---I can feel it!

From jona on Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 19:19:49

Thanks for the well wishes. I think I will be ok. The cold doesn't seem to be getting worse. Got new shoes yesterday, will see if I can use them for the race. I don't think this is "my race." I'm shooting to just finish. 1:40 will be acceptable.

I will be right there in the cheering section cheering my FRB buds! Thats you Kelli, and Marion, and Smooth and Leslie. I'm SO EXCITED!

From Teena on Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 19:26:51

Hey DB, is DG coming to watch you?

From jona on Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 19:32:41

"coming to watch?" Are you coming Teena? Yes she is!

DB

From Teena on Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 19:35:24

I've been thinking about it ... now that I know that DG will be there I might just have to come to check out how giddy you get around her! :)

TJ out!
