Half Marathon: 1:34

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.

Super job! Those are some nice splits. Do you do a short recovery or just run them straight through?

It is cooler today, isn't it? Yesterday was awesome here at about 78F as the high and 40% humidity. This morning it is 52F and 90% humidity. Feels kinda cold, but perfect for a bike ride in to work.

Keep up the great work! I'm looking forward to our performances in the fall.

Thanks! I take a short recovery when I was 5k training I was using 1:30 for a rest but today I used 1:00. I was freezing while trying to do the training but it was in the 50's. I think that the 78 is about what we are looking at today. I am excited for the fall races too!
