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.

I don't know the actual mileage I went today but I went out for 20 minutes twice today.  The dog needs to get in shape as well as me.  I think that if I can get her our running a few times a week with me,  I may get us both in shape.  Made a plan to get back to exercising regularly this will hold me over for a few weeks to a few months when I can start on some type of plan.  I need to get cardio in so this plan will help with that.

Has the dog failed in keeping you going? :-( Hope all is well!

Surprisingly enough, I have gotten out 3-4 times a week for the past two weeks. I just don't have time to blog right now. I need to catch up. 6am-5pm work and then 2 Master's classes is about as much as I can handle right now. My wife gets the little extra attention I have. How have you been Wes?
