Short-Term Running Goals:

Break 3 hours in the marathon

Run a trail ultra

 Find a way to run high mileage without injuring myself. My current theory is that transitioning out of my super-cushioned shoes into more minimalist shoes or bare feet will help improve my form and make this possible.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run a 100 mile race.

Personal:

I am happily married to Jenni. We have three energetic little boys who also enjoy to run. Jenni and I are both going to try learning how to run without shoes this year.

Well, I got a little lazy there for a while with my blogging. Let's just say that over the last two weeks I've had some great runs, and most of them in ff's.

Today I ran 15 miles at about an 8:15 average pace, and it felt great. I had a slight twinge in my left ankle and a little soreness in my right foot, but nothing really bad. And my legs felt great! One unfortunate incident was that I lost the foot pod for my iPod Nike Plus pedometer thingy. I was bombing down a dirt trail and really opened up my pace. I was dodging puddles and having a great time when my iPod told me that there was an error with the Nike Plus. I guess I kicked off the foot pod and sent it flying into the trees. I searched for a few minutes, then gave up. Oh, well, who needs technology anyway, right?
