Honestly, I need to get my PR's compiled. This is something I started a year ago and then lost my file. I have them on my old computer but need to dig them out. There is still more I need to find. Short-Term Running Goals: February 1st: Frosty 5k
February 22nd: Run for the Cookies
April 6th: Scranton Half Marathon (with Wes)
July 19th: New York Giants Run of Champions
October: Gettysburg Half Marathon
On top of some races, need to lose some weight to get to a good competition weight and also need to get rid of all my injuries. I would also like to drop my times
This year I would also like to hit 1000 miles during the year. Long-Term Running Goals: I think that eventually I would like to qualify for Boston. That is something that weighs on me but not as bad as not completing a marathon. Think I will take the approach of trying to complete a marathon within the next 3 years and then we will see after that.
I also want to keep dropping my times and stay competitive in age groups and get competitive overall. Personal: I am 29 years old, soon to be 30 and I have the best most supportive wife (Courtney) and we just had our first child (Isaac) in December. I ran track most of high school and one year of Cross Country. I then went to college where I ran for a year on the college team. Since then I have been trying to get myself back on track with my running, I run more days then not but I have not been able to have one year without some type of injury. I would really like to get back to being injury free and a competitive runner. |

| | Below freezing and slightly windy. Wasn't a bad run just chilly. My leg was bugging me again. I put a hot wrap on it to try and get it to loosen up. I will be spending some time tomorrow trying to stretch it out. |

| | Ran it in 38:50. Made sure I took it easy since it was an easy run. I am trying to make sure EZ runs are done at a reasonable pace so that I don't get hurt. My leg didn't hurt too bad, I know the pain is there but it wasn't to bad. |

| | Ran in about 56:50, really trying to watch my pace. My leg was bothering me during some of the run. I think it is getting a little worse, probably need to spend some time stretching. The pace was about 8:27. This was a fartlek run, I ran 6- 30 second runs at ~6:40 pace. I am starting to get used to the treadmill, but I really want my leg to start feeling better. |

| | This was supposed to be a 5 miler but my leg was bothering me. It was not just a little pain, it was starting to shoot and it was getting worse as I went on. Since this is the beginning of the program I thought I should take it easy. |

| | Held off on my long run to rest my leg. Didn't want to have any more problems, I did stretch and I did ice today. |

| | Decided one more day of rest may do the trick. I iced in the evening and stretched in the morning. Felt a little twinge when leaving work so I held off. I will be giving it a try tomorrow. |

| | Normally an off day or cross training so I decided to bike. This didn't bother me, I stretched twice and iced at night. Should be ready for a run tomorrow. |

| | Once again didn't run, but I rode the bike. There were times today where I felt it but it still is not terrible. Stretched twice and iced. |

| | Felt better, by the end of the run I was starting to feel my calf some. I ran 3 miles in 25:30, which is about what I should be doing for this training, just need to get the mileage back up. |

| | Ran it in 40:54, felt good no real problems, guess the key is going to be stretching everyday and try to strengthen the problem areas. |

| | Not to bad run, the treadmills were shutting off, so I ended up getting breaks. Legs feel pretty good. |

| | Didn't feel too bad. My plantar facisis was irratating me some. If it continues I may need to go out and get new insoles, unfortunately the shoes are new and have "special" insoles. |

Ran from home today, the arch in my foot is starting to bug me with the one pair of shoes. I am trying to watch my miles during the week so I can put in quality long runs on Saturday. |
