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. |

| | Was supposed to do 3 x 1600 at race pace, but come on, that was not going to happen with all of the ailments I have been struggling with. What did I do? I did 3 miles of quarter mile hills with quarter mile rest in between. This was not the plan but it was going to give my hamstrings and calves a break, which it did. I think that as long as I am thoughtful with my workouts and careful, I can make it to the half marathon in April and get a pretty good time. May struggle after it but should be okay. Hoping to just keep this going and get a good time then time for maintenance.

| | Took off yesterday trying to get things to get in order. Today didn't feel terrible but skipping yesterday meant skipping a tempo run. I would rather miss a tempo run one time then screw up my training. 1 month from today, I will have completed the Scranton Half Marathon which is very exciting to think about. Really want to just stay healthy and keep everything in order. Once this training plan is over, I will take a week or two off to heal so until then, it is all about working hard and training carefully!

| | This was supposed to be a 1:45 timed run but my feet would not let me finish it. Good thing I planned on returning my shoes today because if I didn't, I would have started really considering it. These shoes were not meant for me. I have enough problems, I don't need shoes to be another one. I went up to the shoe store and I think that I ended up with a good pair that will work for me. The fun thing was, the shoes were half the price of the originals and they were having a huge sale so I got a shirt and shorts. Not a bad end to a day that started off with a poor run.
