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.

Long run for the week and it took me 1:09.53.  This is an average of 7:45 per mile.  I know that I haven't been updating regularly and I regret it.  I haven't been able to focus on anything because of the constant attention I need to give to so many things.  I am happy to say that I am finishing the majority of my runs.  This week I got hurt playing football so I was not able to complete my Thursday and Friday runs.  I felt my hip pulling during my run but it started to feel better during the run.  My other hip began to bother me and so did some spots in my legs.  I think today was just an off day which is unfortunate when it was a long run but I got through it and felt good for the rest of the day.  I am feeling like I should do well in the Run for the Diamonds and in the Half Marathon.  I think I have things together.
