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. |

| | Still haven't run since Sunday. I am trying to rest this calf. I thought just calf pain, but I think in the end it was a small strain. Have spent a lot of time heating, icing, tiger balming. You name it, I have done it. I have a little over a week to go, haven't run and am not sure what to do. I am thinking of skipping the 10-miler this weekend and maybe trying for 3 or 4 and then easing back in next week. I just hope that I can get this squared away before next weekend. I am really considering running it regardless and possibly taking a few Alieve right before the start. I really need o do it this time, no excuses. I am thinking I am there. I was not able to find any treatment plans for this on the net, so I think I will keep doing this and be careful.

| | Biked 9.66 miles. Things are feeling a little better. I think that this could be worked out by race time. Just got to keep doing the heating and icing and compression sock. I will stay hopeful that this will work itself out!

| | Biked again today. Went about 6 or 7 miles. Started thinking today, should I eat or drink during the marathon? Decided I need to drink. The eating, I am not sure about. I don't eat during my long runs but this is longer then those. I don't drink during them either. I think it would be safe to eat but I am not sure how my body would react to it as I haven't done it before. HMMMMM. I just don't know.
