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.

My first run after a weeklong rest following Ogden. The Ogden Marathon was great but it just makes me want to train harder and hit my BQ time in St. George. My right IT band started acting up towards the end of my run today and it makes me nervous.

XTrain and rode the bike for 40 min at 100+ cadences. I've noticed that my legs feel week prior to my body and lungs giving up so I need to find some way to strengthen my legs with the hopes of preventing injury and fatigue.

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.
