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.

One mile warm up at 8:30, six 1/2 mile intervals at 6:30 - 6:20, 1/4 mile recover between at 9:00, then one mile cool down. My knee didn't hurt so I'm way happy... I need to start running with Curt and Jeff. I just don't know if I can get out of bed that early.

Ran on the TM at 7.2mph.  At about mile four my right IT started hurting again...  I don't know what to do about that.  I guess I'll keeep miles low for the next week and go to yoga more.

I ran leg 6 of To Bone and Back in Idaho Falls with some friends today...  I'll count the run as my first hill training.  It kicked my but! 7:45 pace was hard!  I have to say it was a great time running with some friends who love to run.

It was a hot day to run...  Alisa and I went to the track and ran some intervals.  3x1600M with 800M recover.  It killed me.  I ran the first one at 6:34 pace and the rest were barley at 7:00.  I need to do more speed work and hills.
