Time to get into some training again. I have my goals for 2011, some of which are posted on this blog. I'm excited to shoot for those goals.

Tonight I ran a 3.5 mile loop around Ladera Ranch, CA. It wasn't that far to run, but it was good to get out and push myself a little instead of just going through the motions. However, I am super pleased that I kept my goal in 2010 of running 5 days per week, every week, even though many of those runs were only a mile long.

great goals for 2011, and congrats on meeting your consistency goal for 2010. that's awesome.

hopefully i will be seeing you again at the race for literacy 5k (sub-18!)

From Steve Piccolo on Sun, Jan 02, 2011 at 13:45:56 from 68.5.117.163

Thanks, Allie. I plan to be there for the literacy 5K. Sub 18 or bust!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I am jealous you are where it is a warm!

From Steve Piccolo on Sun, Jan 02, 2011 at 20:09:07 from 68.5.117.163

Thanks, Kelli. We're heading back tomorrow, unfortunately. But hopefully it will warm up soon.

From Kelli on Sun, Jan 02, 2011 at 22:36:02 from 71.219.84.215

Don't hold your breath! Have a safe trip!!!

From Steve Piccolo on Mon, Jan 03, 2011 at 01:53:06 from 68.5.117.163

By the way, Kelli, congrats on 3300 miles last year. That's amazing.

From Kelli on Mon, Jan 03, 2011 at 20:38:50 from 71.219.84.215

Thanks, my poor little toenails have paid the highest price!

From Burt on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 18:49:04 from 206.19.214.144

My goal for 2011 is to be faster than Kelli and Steve combined. So, Steve's PR in the marathon is 3:02 and Kelli's is 3:08. I only have to run a 6:09.

From Kelli on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 19:31:56 from 71.219.84.215

Sounds very doable, Burt. VERY.

From Kelli on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 19:34:56 from 71.219.84.215

AND wouldn't that be a 6:10?

From Steve Piccolo on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 19:36:35 from 67.161.249.226

Burt, you could run a 6:09 with both legs tied behind your back.

From Burt on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 19:40:18 from 206.19.214.144

Well, to be faster it would have to be a 6:09. And I just might try it with my legs tied behind my back.

From Kelli on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 19:44:51 from 71.219.84.215

Dang, I was so intent on catching you being wrong that I did not even stop to think. Stupid.

From Burt on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 19:49:24 from 206.19.214.144

Oh Kelli. Your low IQ is what makes you cute.

From Burt on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 19:49:33 from 206.19.214.144

Totally kidding.

From Kelli on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 19:52:59 from 71.219.84.215

My IQ goes down each and every day. I am degenerating. Is that word?

From Burt on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 19:56:09 from 206.19.214.144

YES! Good job Kelli. You did so good!

From Kelli on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 20:00:36 from 71.219.84.215

I was tempted to google it.

And, BTW, I know you are never kidding, ever!

While we are monopolizing Steve's blog, did Ragnar Del Sol fill up? Last time we ran it, I was very scared as I was always running all by myself. It was lonely. Since we are doing an ultra team run there, I am praying I get to see more people this time around----especially in the night.

From Burt on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 20:14:01 from 206.19.214.144

Monopolizing. Another big word.

Actually I had that same question the other day. Thanks for reminding me so I could go look. I only see 332 teams signed up. That's not bad. I think you'll be on your own at night :(

From Kelli on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 23:52:14 from 71.219.84.215

Just me and the coyotes again. DANG, it was scary.

From Burt on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 00:01:12 from 72.223.84.236

I saw two coyotes on my run last night. They're nothing to be scared of. Right Steve?

From Kelli on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 00:07:38 from 71.219.84.215

Not sure if Steve has any experience, but maybe he does with foxes and pheasants and mountain lions? Maybe even Bison?

From Burt on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 00:11:14 from 72.223.84.236

Steve used to live here.

From Kelli on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 00:50:32 from 71.219.84.215

I see.

From Steve Piccolo on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 13:16:30 from 67.161.249.226

During the whole 5 years I lived in AZ, I ran two half marathons and one marathon (that I didn't adequately for). And most of my training was on a treadmill. So I never encountered many wild animals there. But I do know a guy who shot a javelina with a bow and arrow.
