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.

For labor day weekend we went to visit my Grandma in Cashmere, WA. She lives up a canyon outside of town and near some pretty sweet trails. On the way to her house Friday after work, I had Jenni drop me off on the other side of the mountains from their canyon. The plan was to run the 8 miles up over a pass into their canyon, but I added 2 miles to the route by getting lost. There was about 1500 ft of ascent and descent on this route.

Saturday I was hanging out with family who were all very interested in barefoot/minimalist running. Even my dad (age 62) has recently read Born to Run, studied Chi Running and is running every day in water socks! We went out and ran on a trail near my grandma's place (0.5 mile) but it was too overgrown, so we headed out onto the road where I ran barefoot for one mile. My brother Tommy used my ff's and I believe is hooked.
