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 the elementery school route. I only had time for 3 miles, but figured it would be nice to get out and stretch the legs. I couldn't ever get that deep deep breath. It felt like I was in the warm up mile the whole time. :-( Hate when that happens.

Have a great day!

HI!!!!!!!! How is Kelly's foot?

From Jon A on Mon, Nov 01, 2010 at 14:15:07 from 67.214.249.195

Hi Kelli!!!!!!! :-)

Kelly' foot isn't doing that good. Stress fractures are a major hassle to heal up. She has gone back to the boot, and a foot Dr in our ward told her last night that he would recommend that she go 6 weeks NON WEIGHT baring. Ughhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! She is not pleased. She is on crutches, and in a boot. Hopefully she can heal and start the slow buildup to running more soon.

Your running has been awesome. Its fun to see you get better and better and better!

From Kelli on Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 19:28:29 from 71.219.65.246

Dang it, that really stinks. It has been a bit since I asked (I was out of town). Has anything gotten better???

From Jon A on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 13:08:23 from 67.214.249.195

Hey Kelli, Foot is the same. Kelly is on crutches for another 4 weeks. She HATES it. Dr told her NO weight on the foot. So she has no exercise that she feels she can do. :-( I try and cheer her up, and make it as non-big deal as possible, but she really wants to do something. She is allowed to go swimming. We do that a couple times a week. She is bummed. Hopefully she can spend the better part of Dec running and working up for the Painters Half in Jan. I'm not running, I feel like it would be rubbing it in her face, so I will take the next few weeks off.

Are you and Scott running Painters?

From Kelli on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 13:36:58 from 71.219.65.246

UNdecided on Painters at this point. I am just kind of burnt out when it comes to racing BUT I kind of need it to keep me motivated.

That is very nice of you to NOT run. I know I get ticked when Scott goes out running and I can't. I am mad all day---you are a good husband! (Not that Scott is not, it is selfish of me to get mad, but I DO!!!)

I hope her foot gets healed quickly. I can not imagine what she has gone through the last little bit. Not exercising just kind of zaps you emotionally (at least it does me, I need that outlet!) Good thing for her she is just a naturally skinny little thing, at least she does not have to worry about that!

Hey Jon, it's been a month. How's Kelly's foot? Please tell her my ward choir loves her Christmas music. Just wish I could be better at directing and that Kelly was my pianist! :)

From Jon A on Mon, Dec 06, 2010 at 19:23:09 from 67.214.249.195

Hey Smooth, I'm so glad you guys are liking that Christmas music. Those are some great songs.

Kelly's foot is still in the boot. She has an appointment with foot Dr on Thurs. I'm guessing he is going to say its either another 2-3 weeks, or that what we thought were fractures are worse or not fractures.

From Smooth on Mon, Dec 06, 2010 at 19:41:38 from 67.2.111.170

Dang! keeping my fingers crossed that the doc has good news for Kelly. She sure is patient! I am sure it's been frustrating!

From marion on Mon, Dec 06, 2010 at 20:09:52 from 71.213.113.50

Oh CRAP! ..abt Kelli's foot! Non weight baring is a bugger. David was nwb for 13.5 weeks. It was horrible :p I'm glad she can swim :)

From Kelli on Mon, Dec 06, 2010 at 20:20:57 from 71.219.66.85

Double Dang it.

From Jon A on Tue, Dec 07, 2010 at 11:36:20 from 67.214.249.195

Marion, YEP! Stinks! I think Kelly will go completely out of her mind if she has to be NWB for 7-8 more weeks. !!!!

Kelli, Yep Yep!

From Smooth on Sun, Jan 02, 2011 at 01:02:43 from 67.2.79.80

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Jon and Kelly!!! :) :) :)

From Kelli on Sun, Jan 02, 2011 at 17:58:09 from 71.219.84.215

Happy New Year JON!!!! AND KELLY!

From Jon A on Mon, Jan 03, 2011 at 12:46:42 from 67.214.249.195

Happy New Year Smooth and Kelli!!!! Hope you guys had a great holiday season.

From Smooth on Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 21:03:20 from 67.2.95.228

I just found out that your house was on fire!!! I was in Texas while this happened! Glad no one was hurt! But oh man, that stink! Are you guys back to your house now? What can I do to help?

I am so so so so sorry!!!

From Jon A on Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 13:17:54 from 67.214.249.195

Hey Smooth, Yeah, that kinda stinks on the fire. We won't be back in the house for a while. The whole upstairs is a loss. All the walls, floors and ceilings on the main level are being replaced. They estimate that we should be looking to move back in 2 maybe 3 months.

Fun adventure we are having!

From Smooth on Tue, Feb 08, 2011 at 22:46:03 from 67.2.82.197

Wow, 2 or 3 months?!!! That is terrible!!! What/where are you guys living at in the meantime?

From Jon A on Wed, Feb 09, 2011 at 10:22:01 from 67.214.249.195

Hey Smooth, We are staying in a town home over by the Jimmy Johns gas station just off Center St. So not to far from home. We will just go to our ward, and hopefully time will fly by.

From marion on Wed, Feb 09, 2011 at 10:25:37 from 71.213.119.249

I'm so sorry Jon :( What a mess. Time will fly and condos can make you feel like you are on vacation ;)

From Jon A on Wed, Feb 09, 2011 at 11:58:03 from 67.214.249.195

Its all ok Marion, time will fly, we will be moving before we know it. The condo seemed like a vacation for about 10 minutes, then we started moving our garbage bags of what clothes we had from the hotel. :-)

From Smooth on Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 15:02:26 from 67.2.103.237

Are you guys back in your house yet?

Larry said he saw you and you guys are running Spectrum?

GOOD LUCK and have a TON of FUN!!! wish I could be there to cheer you guys!

GO Jon & Kelly GO!!! :)

Happy Easter to you, Kelly and the kiddoes! :)
