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. |

| | Getting ready for the Giants 5k in 2 weeks. Plan is to not do to much extra but put in a few miles each day. Felt good today, ran it in 8:34 pace. Not to bad considering I haven't run over 4 miles in 12-24 months. |

| | Tonight I ran this run in 39:14, roughly 8:12 per mile. That is significantly better then this run last week. I did have a few days off but this is just to get me going again. 6 days left until the race. I am ready for this. |

| | It was a little laboring today, it is getting warmer. I ran about 8:45 pace. Not to bad, I am thinking that getting myself back into training shape won't be so bad. I really missed the running. |

| Race: |
Giants Run of Champions 5k (3.1 Miles) 00:23:10, Place overall: 257, Place in age division: 51 | |
This was a 7:28 per mile pace which is exceptional. I was training/running about 8:30 to 9:00 per mile pace the last few weeks. My first mile was 7:07, second mile 7:38, and then the last 1.1 miles was 8:25 (roughly 7:39 per mile pace). I think that for not racing/running hard in two years this was an exceptional time. I look forward to gaining back my fitness (which I am not sure how much I lost), and lowering my time. I think I will race on July 21st which will be a good test of how I am training. I also plan on increasing some of my miles.
For as bad as I have been feeling the past two years, this makes me feel hope and I needed that. Since vacation, Court and I have changed our attitudes and have been doing more with our life. I think that is paying off in my running too. I think today was a major turning point for me and a much needed one. |

| | Not a bad night after a race. The wind was out and it was cool. Very enjoyable pace and run. |
