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.

0.5 mile warm up, 3 MP miles, and 0.5 mile cool down.  Then 45 min of weights... I'm not sure if upper body lifting helps my running but it sure feels good to get those mussels burning.

0.5 warm up and cool down.  6 miles at MP on the TM...  I hate running inside.  We need spring!!!  My leg feel great.  A little tight so I need to do more yoga or it will turn into an injury.

Dinner and beer sounds great right about now...  Where's Jeff?

Good speed day...  The only thing that could make it better would be if I could run outside...  Winter suck!!!

I ran at the Apple on the TM.  My legs were a little fatigued but other that I felt great...  It was too cold to run outside!
