Short-Term Running Goals:

If things go as planned...  I will be running Boston in 2015 and I want to break 3 hours.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to run till I die and qualify for the Boston Marathon, both events may occur simultaneously...  They didn't :)  I hit my BQ time in St. George 2012!

Personal:

In 1 1/2 year I went from 225 lbs. to now around 165-160 lbs.  In 2010, my first year running, I ran two half marathons, two 5ks and one 10k.  My wife and I started with the Salt Lake City Half Marathon and ran it together.  It was a great way to spend time together and kick off our new found pass time.  I'm now addicted to running and I plan on running for the rest of my life.

0.5 warm up and cool down.  6 miles at MP on the TM...  I hate running inside.  We need spring!!!  My leg feel great.  A little tight so I need to do more yoga or it will turn into an injury.

Dinner and beer sounds great right about now...  Where's Jeff?

Good speed day...  The only thing that could make it better would be if I could run outside...  Winter suck!!!

I ran at the Apple on the TM.  My legs were a little fatigued but other that I felt great...  It was too cold to run outside!

I should have done some type of X training but we spent time with family and eating lots of food...  Like I said, should have X trained...

My legs were tired after sitting around yesterday...  Resting takes more out of me than running.

It's looking sunny outside but it's still damn cold...  Ran on the TM for 6.5 miles.

These short run days kill me...  I'm following the Hal Higgins Intermediate II plan and I'm afraid to over train.  I feel like I should push myself harder.

I was in Ogden helping a friend with his business and I had to get my long run in.  It was a nice day and running outside felt great.

Great day to run outside!!!  It's sad that the weather is going to get colder before the weeks out.

I ran from the AmeriTel on Lindsay to the Sleep Inn Hotel at the Sunnyside Rd. overpass.  Good day to run outside.  Tomorrow we have 14 miles to run and I sure hope I'm not running all that on a TM...  That will suck!!!

Alisa and I were able to run in the morning and the weather was nice.  I thought we would wake to snow but the storm didn't come till the evening.  8:50 pace but even at that pace I fell the burn in my quads.  On my long runs my focus is endurance and not speed.  It's hard to not focus on time.

7 miles today and only 10 tomorrow...  It feels like an easy week.  I still hate the TM.  Jeff makes me feel weak when I look at his times.  His average workout is my life time goal...  So sad and on the other hand, nice job Jeff...

I ran at the Apple on the TM and saw a lot of familiar faces...  It's nice how seeing others do the same thing gives you energy and motivation to keep running.  I can't wait till the weather is nicer and we can all go run outside.
