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.

It was a nice day but I still ran on the TM.  I forgot to bring a jacket to work so I was stuck inside wishing I was out.  My legs felt great even after 41 miles last week.  It's so cool to see how my endurance is building up.  The first time I ran 13 miles I couldn't walk normal for almost a week and now we're running much more than that every weekend and still running two day's later.

I can almost sleep on these short runs...  It's crazy to think that I would have ever enjoyed running.

Rest day...  I'm headed up to Northern Idaho for the next three days to fish and I'm going to have to run in the mornings in a place I'm not that familiar with.  I need to run 8 Friday and 17 on Saturday...  It's going to be crazy but I can't miss a run.

Lots of hills in Grangeville Idaho...  and dogs too.  I would have a hard time running if I lived there.
