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.

I ran outside and it was nice.  A little cold when I was running into the wind but it feels good to cover some ground and not be on a TM.  SLC half is this coming Saturday and it looks like we'll have good weather.

The weather was great and it was fun running with my wife, brother, and friends.  My goal was 1:35 to 1:30 so I'm happy with my time.  The next half I run needs to be sub 1:30.  I need to do more speed work.
