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.

Now it's time to start my tracking again...  My goal is the 2015 and 2016 Boston Marathon.  After going with the running crew to Boston this week to see them run in the marathon, I have an even stronger desire to get there.

Here we go!!!

Nice run outside along the canyon.  The weather was nice and a little mist to cool me off.  I pushed the pace a little and ended the six miles at a 7:45 pace.  My goal MP is 6:51 to break three hours but anything less than 7:26 will be a BQ....

Happy running!

Long run for the week...  Windy day so it made it tough and I was training while fasting.
