| Location: Coon Rapids,MN,USA Member Since: Dec 09, 2010 Gender: Male Goal Type: Boston Qualifier Running Accomplishments: I have only run 2 marathon's in my life.... Grandma's in 2002 and Twin Cities in 2008. I just finished nothing spectacular.... This last year I got the running bug so here we are.... Let's see what happens! Short-Term Running Goals: I told myself that I was not going to run anymore Marathon's until I am 50.... Well, that didn't work! I have been talked into signing up for 35th running of Grandma's Marathon on June 18th, 2011... I have had running friends who have qualified for Boston and it has inspired me to see if I could qualify. So I guess we will see how it goes... Wish me luck..... Long-Term Running Goals: OK!! Maybe Boston should be my Long-term goal..... hmmm? Personal: I am happily Married, with a big dog and no children yet!!! |

| | So I have been sick with the Crud all week!!! So no running... It really sucks!!! I guess I should not have ran the race last Saturday when I was sick..... That's what I get! What have others done to recover from being sick? How have others got back to where they were? I am looking for tips to help me get back quicker to where I was at.... thanks in advance for any advice.... J

| | Well, I'm feeling a little better and I got talked into running indoors.... We were down in Madison and went and ran on the UW indoor track.... It was fun but my lungs were feeling it afterward. I think I coughed up a lung.....

Half Fast Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:40:10 | | What a great race for me... It was kinda cold with the temp at 10F but at least it was sunny. I met a guy Dan while running and we paced each other. It sure helped running with Dan, he pushed me to keep up the pace and relax. So Thanks Dan! This is a PR for me too 1:40:10, I am very happy... I hope that I can keep this up! Keep running! J

| | Ran Swede Hallow with Jessica at noon and the temp has finally warmed up to about 30F. I pulled a muscle in my lower abs to my groin area on the right. I hope this does not affect my running.... |
