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. |

Wineglass Marathon Team Relay (9 Miles) 01:08:20, Place overall: 15 | | Today was the first time I ran in a bunch of weeks, so to run a race it was quite a stretch. My hamstring began to ache mile 4 and then hurt 6-9. I am feeling great now a few hours after the race and I believe I am ready to get back to training. Up next maybe a Halloween 5k but more importantly the Run for the Diamonds on Thanksgiving (another 9 miler but a few mile hill with a very steep incline). Last year I ran that in 1:04 and I hope to match or beat that this year. Getting back to today, I am thrilled that I was able to run a great time for a gimp hamstring. My teammates (my sister-in-law and her friend) were amazing in their legs to keep us high in the standings (15 out of 53). Fantastic course and I would reccommend to anyone, Runner's World had high marks on it. |

Had football last night and aggravated my hamstring again but I wanted to get a run in. I don't think I hurt it anymore but it was painful to get through. I only have one more week of football (good thing) and then I will be able to get rid of this nagging problem. |

| | Leg is still a little wobbly and I still feel like my gimp leg is dragging behind a little, but I am getting my miles in. I am hoping to get a long run in Saturday, that would make me quite happy. We will see though. |

| | The hamstring only wanted to give me a five mile limit today. Thats okay, I am working everything back up, felt my plantar a little towards the end but overall nothing to be concerned about. Glad that the hamstring only gave me 5 as I had to come home and try to make the dog flea free. I think she may be for now but I will need to get the house flea free soon. Can't do it today because I have to go to some wedding. I truly do not enjoy weddings. Oh well. I think maybe off tomorrow to give my hammy a break, probably be on the stationary bike again. |
