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.

Four miles of crazy hill work, both up and down.  Alisa and I ran down and then back up the Snake River Canyon.  My plan is to run it once a week and hope it will increase my speed...

Just a four mile relaxing run while my little boy rode his bike...  Now he wants to go with me ever day.  What am I creating? :-)

Ran from my house to the bottom of the Snake River Canyon and back.  The canyon an elevation change of 500 feet in 3/4th of a mile.  It was the first time I ran up without stopping...
