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.

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