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.

Went up the canyon with my friend Bill. He took his kid in the runners stroller. Those miles were a little slower. Bill stopped and let his son play/walk while I took off up to the 4 mile mark. Then I picked him up on the downside.

I missed the running group running the Jordan River Parkway trail, BUT my son was starting defense on the peewee Pro bowl team. They won. Yeah!

re: the whole fat-people-sucking thing. Well, honestly I'd take that comment off or at least amend it at this point if I could figure out how to edit that part of my profile! People in America are actually socializing each other to get fatter, and they especially don't tolerate skinny people. Even "normal weight" people don't tolerate healthfully slim people, but try to socialize them into gaining weight. I'm not saying that fat people are inherently worse people than other people, just that being fat and tolerating it, and not doing anything about it, and not encouraging one's overweight friends (to do what they should for their own health and society as well, since fatness is a social disease) is a psychiatric disease of it's own, that's all.

Ezra, If you log into your blog, so that you see your calendar you will see a link on the left side towards the bottom that reads "Blog Options". Click that link. It will take you to the screen that should allow you to edit your profile.

It doesn't seem like making a generalized comment like that will help anyone "to do what they should for their own health".

Ezra, I don't want to come across as perfect or a "know it all". I do think it wrong to make someone feel bad about themselves in the effort to encourage them get healthy/loose weight.

Way to prioritize! Congrats to your boy!

From jona on Sun, Nov 09, 2008 at 12:38:48

Thanks Mike, I was excited. He played well. It is one of those things as a parent I'm both sad to see the season end, and GLAD its over at the same time. Now I don't have to get him to his games Sat AM. But, basketball season is starting soon, so that will fill that void! :(, :)

From Kelli on Sun, Nov 09, 2008 at 16:39:04

I was just thinking that Basketball season begins soon, and then my Saturday's are shot again! But I will enjoy them while I still can!!

GREAT RUN, maybe next week?!? YES, we are going again. We like it.

From jona on Sun, Nov 09, 2008 at 20:45:14

I'm planning on coming this next weekend. I look forward to seeing everyone.

I don't know if I can make it the whole 20 miles in two weeks, so maybe I will head up the short group. And help/find a way to aid you long runners with water.

From Teena on Sun, Nov 09, 2008 at 20:55:06

Nicely done on your run Jon. I'm especially impressed with the extra .01!! You're funny.

Congrats to your boy as well.

From Kelli on Sun, Nov 09, 2008 at 22:27:34

You CAN do 20. Just take some walk breaks if you have to. Or, run and get my a hamburger and some fries and meet me at mile 15!!

From jona on Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 00:25:02

Teena, you know it. That extra .01 was the most difficult. I think I will start reporting # of steps next. :) Just kidding. The guy I was with probably thought I was completely nuts. I told him I had to run just a little further to make sure I hit 8. I took about 20 steps and stopped. I shouldn't report that stuff, speedsters are always faster than me in the very short distances. It takes me 20 steps just to get to half speed.

Kelli, if I remember correctly you like Iceburg. There is one just down the street from where that trail is.

From Kelli on Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 13:47:20

A shake at the end of my run, perfect!!! But I will need a car that has a heater so I do not freeze my tush off eating it!

From Kelli on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 16:03:12

Uh-oh!!! Lazy again this week???? Okay, Scott and I are going to run in Lehi again, just the other direction this time!! You are welcome to come if you can.

From jona on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 19:57:35

Yeah, I'm being lazy. Have had a hard week. I hope to get going tonight.

I would love to come with you guys Sat. How far do you expect to go? I should be there!

From Kelli on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 20:09:19

10-12 is the plan. PLEASE come, Scott need someone to run with! Plus, we like you!!!

From jona on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 21:40:12

Who all is planning on coming?

I'm planning on being there. I hope to get out a couple times prior, that way I can hope to stick with you guys on the distance.

And I sure like you guys too!

From Kelli on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 23:36:36

So far, you and Britta and Scott and I. That is it. BUT, I will round up some more people.
