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')

A very speedy 3 miles, I might add. Nothing like sleeping in to get you to run FAST!

From jona on Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 15:57:18

I don't feel like they are fast, I see the time and think "Good job," but then I think, "yeah, but you can't keep that up for more than a few miles." I need to get the longer runs going.

From Kelli on Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 16:07:14

Drive out here every morning, they will make you RUN long, slow miles!

It is easier to bear through it with a group. You need to find some running friends---where is Scooby when you need him?

From jona on Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 16:12:41

I've never been a social runner. But I think I may need to change that. Maybe.

From Kelli on Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 16:15:40

We are bloggin' back and forth here and all over the place.

But, ya know what? I said the same thing. My husband and I ran together, but not together, ya know. I just liked to be by myself with my music. This group has changed everything. It feels more like a race, but in a good way. There are so many of us and we are all stretched out when we run, but it keeps me moving. I do talk to people, and I have found that I really like it (I am sure I drive them nuts, but oh well). It has been a nice change.

From jona on Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 19:59:58

I used to run with my (then) wife. She banned me, I have gotten used to running alone. I don't mind running with others, haven't found anyone local with the same hours. Scooby is willing, but has to stay pretty fluid in when he goes. I'll find someone. I may join back up with the FRB competitor Sojourner, they have a group that runs 2-3 times a week. (Actually, they are putting together a really good run this weekend)

Better yet, I just need to get my mind back in the game and go!

From Kelli on Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 14:24:55

You were putting messages out there, so I came to visit to see what you did today. Hmm...nothing here for two days now. Do I need to come and drag you out to run? If I have to suffer (literally) through 18.1 miles, you need to at least get in those 10/11/12 feet you promised!

From jona on Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 14:59:02

I'm out there. Ok, so I took a couple days off. I'm sure I'm paying for it. Next week will be better!

Thanks for keeping me honest!

From Kelli on Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 15:14:42

It has absolutely nothing to do with keeping you honest. I just think that if am going to run, everyone should have to. I am in pain right now, and dang it, you better be to!

From jona on Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 15:29:39

That is funny. Ok, my knees are hurting. Feel better?

From Kelli on Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 15:01:02

No, not really. Only if you ran.

From jona on Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 15:19:18

I ran. Just not as far as you, so you should feel real good. I didn't run as far AND I got pain.

From Kelli on Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 15:35:20

Ah, but you're old! Just kidding.

From jona on Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 15:41:40

Good one!

That little fact can be left out of future discussions! :-)

From Kelli on Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 15:49:09

Well, you know, I have youth on my side so I have to use it!

Now, in reality, you may just be a hair older than me (since your son is a senior and mine is a sophomore). Or, is he not your oldest and you are like a grandpa or something? If that is the case, you do not look your age, old man!

From jona on Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 16:02:14

Funny, I hope I don't look my age anyway.

If I'm a grandpa, I may have to give up running and take up a cane. I don't want that title (yet). How scary! I'm not old enough or mature enough to be a grandpa.

From Kelli on Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 16:04:17

That is okay, cause I am not old enough or mature enough to be a mom of a teenager. I do not know what I am doing! But, do you ever?

My MIL was a grandma at 36!! So, you never know.

From jona on Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 16:11:10

I'm not mature enough to be a dad either. But I don't have that choice anymore. I guess now I don't have the grandpa choice either. I just hope I did enough proper training that grandpa title comes along at a good time.
