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')

| Nice and easy. Ran around the outdoor track at the fitness center. My right calf is still having a little ache. I took Fri, Sat, Sun and Mon off to see if it would feel better. 26:27/8:08 pace

| Ran at the outdoor track at the fitness center again. Ran 3 miles, took it easy. I can tell I haven't been running much. Calf felt better. I stretched last night, and then stretched good before the run, then again after the run. Now an hour and a half after I feel less pain than prior days. Guess I'm getting old and the body is not as flexable as it used to be. Will take more time stretching! 22:25/7:29 pace

Went to the fitness center again. I am finding some comfort in going there while I'm trying to get this calf muscle back in shape. Its a mental thing I know, but I feel like I can KNOW how many miles I am at, and its somewhat flat. Ok, a Baconator at 9PM, then bed at 12 makes for getting up by 6 is very hard. Probably will have to change most of that schedule.
I had one of those "Awe I love that" moments. I got a late start and was running around the track and the sun was peaking over the mountains (love that too), then a few minutes pass the breeze that the sun pushes out of the canyon rushed accross the valley. Ahhhhh, cool mountain breeze, LOVE IT. Until it feels like wind in my face pushing me backwards! Kidding, still love it. 39:52/7:59 pace

| Had a good run, felt ok. Right calf is still giving me some little twinges. 1 - 7:40, thought I was going slow. If I remember my half mile split was right at 3:50, so picked it up the last half. The Orem City employee's were out doing some fitness something or another so a lot of runners, as I was on my last 1/4 of this mile a guy passed me, I think I let my attention go and stayed with him. At times I like when that happens, but I also like to stay in control of myself and run my pace, I think it is helpful at the beginning of races.
2 - 7:36. Felt good. 3 - 7:32. I was feeling a little tired at the 2.5 split I think that was my slowest half mile split at 3:58, when I saw that I picked it up for the end. Now, if I can just get this calf thing fixed. Oh well. Stretch, run, stretch. Hopefully will be able to finish Hobble Creek. Will try and get 7,8 in tomorrow, and get some split days in next week to increase mileage.

| Ran the CJC/NMV (Childrens Justice Center/No More Victimes) 5k. Did a 1/2 mile warm up, then the race, then ran back and found my daughter and pushed her in. (That added about another mile) Then I ran with my youngest son and daughter on the 1k they had. Did ok on the 5k. 21:47. The coarse has two turn-a-rounds, the first one at just over a mile. That is where my shoe came un-tied. HATE that. At the time I knew I was in 13-15 place and first girl was 1-3 behind me. There was no way I was stopping to tie that shoe! BUT what a distraction. Oh well. Made it. I finished, held off the 1st place girl. Came in 16th. In my mind I am wanting to place higher in these shorter races, and in the longer ones, but I used to not care about the shorter ones, now....It would be nice to win my age group. (today, 4th in age)
