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')

Went to the fitness center, legs felt yuck the whole time. 

 

I have a big cold coming my way, I was hoping I would avoid it, but looks like I will get hit.  Hope I can get rid of it by next week.

Have a pain at the top of my left Achilles.  Last time I had this I got new shoes and that was that.  Could it be?  Hummmmm

Why are you so stinking fast? Stop it!!! NO, don't really stop it, I am just a bit jealous. Nice pace.

From jona on Thu, Jan 08, 2009 at 15:03:14

Britta, YOU shouldn't be jealous at all, you are faster than I. If I recall your marathon PR is faster.

From britta on Thu, Jan 08, 2009 at 15:28:31

I am not sincerly jealous mostly just wishful. Seriously you are getting faster by the days.

So I just checked your marathon PR and mine is faster only by :53 seconds. Your half marathon is faster then mine by 1 min and 19 sec.

Jon,

Not you too!!! I HAVE the cold. But it doesn't have me. I'm going to get rid of it by Sunday.

I need to break out my new shoes too 'cause I want to wear it at Painter's. So hard to take brand new shoes out on the icky roads we're having lately.

Very NICE pace there. Can't imagine what your pace be like withOUT yucky legs and Achilles pain.

What's you goal pace for Painter's?

From jona on Thu, Jan 08, 2009 at 16:13:12

Brita, I totally think you are faster. Certainly more committed to running than I. I'm sure you will be kicking those PR's down this year.

Smooth, Yeah the cold is trying hard to work me over. I'll win, just hope its soon enough. I don't have a plan for Painters. I was thinking about it while I was running this morning. I think that I need to keep this one in perspective and that is that its a winter race/run, and its keeping me in a running mode rather than other years I would be sitting around right now. So, somewhat slow and finish healthy. Wouldn't mind if I come in in the 1:40's (1:45ish)

DB,

How in the world can you be that fast while you are sick?

Sorry you aren't feeling top notch ... probably has a little to do with you not getting enough sleep on account of some girl!! :)

Take care of yourself.

TJ out!

From jona on Fri, Jan 09, 2009 at 11:35:44

Teena, I just wish I was as fast as you. You have a bum leg and your keeping up with me.

I was telling my mom that in some ways its like I'm in high school again. Darn girls! :-) :-) :-)

?TJ? J=last name? No need to say, just wondering.

DB out.

From Teena on Fri, Jan 09, 2009 at 11:40:24

It is totally like you are in HS again. My brother went through a divorce a few years ago. When I set him up with a girl and they started seeing each other it was quite funny. He'd call me about what to wear, what to say, his hair ... all of that. They ended up getting married btw!

TJ Out! (Teena Jensen, just a boring name -- just wanted to be able to say "out")

((btw, I am no where near as fast as you ... I'll bet the excitement and adrenaline you are feeling with this girl, DG - Data Girl, will make you run even faster, mark my words!))

From jona on Fri, Jan 09, 2009 at 11:51:33

TJ, TJ, TJ, You are as fast. Its ok, you don't need to be modest, I can take a chicking! :-)

I know my speed (car) increases when I am on my way to see her, and is slow on the way away from her, I wonder if it picks up when I'm running and thinking about her. Hummmm! Your probably right.

Big difference in now vs HS, now my body doesn't burn the candle at both ends as well. I am tired more now than I remember being in HS. I'll take it though, FUN.
