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')

Woke up late. Got out for something though. Felt good to go go. I ran up 1600 and tried to go down the canal road and .25 miles in the gate wouldn't open. #$!$@. So, turned around and went around the old WordPerfect buildings, then back home. As I ran up 1600 I saw another runner up there a ways. I wondered about the distance if I could real him in. As I went down the hill on 800 E, I could tell I had narrowed the gap, so I thought I may be able to catch him. Flat ground, he held his pace good. Try as I might, I wasn't closing the gap very much. LUCKILY he stopped at the next light. So then I caught him. Phew.

Did deserve to run with him though. I think he said his name is James, He wasn't even breathing hard, while I was! Found out that he did a full Ironman last year, and is going to Vegas half Ironman in April. He finished the full last year right around 11 hours. WOW.

Anyway, short but sweet, and parts of it were good and fast for me.

I got to sleep in for the first time in weeks today. I slept till 6:45. Hahaha. My life is sad.

Glad you got out. Funny you caught that guy. He sounds like a machine.

Jun - I'm NOT a morning person. I have such a hard time getting out of bed. :-(

Yeah, that guy is a machine. Young! He's not older than 30.

Good for you catching that young one! Do that on Sat and kick some major trash.

You should have jumped the fence with your super powers!!! Great RACE, oh wait, that was just a jog.

I forgot to say good luck this weekend to both you and Kelly! Have fun in the sun. I hope we get a little of that here!!!

Thanks Kelli, I need some luck.

Smooth, I'm hoping I don't fizzle out. I will be a go go until I do fizzle, then I'm gonna run back and find my Kelly!
