Running Accomplishments:

 I don't really keep good track, but here's what I found online:

Canyonlands Half '08: 1:34:35

Cherry Blossom 10 miler '08: 1:10:09 (alias jonathon strong)

Jingle All the Way 10k '08: 41:46

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

I really need to develop new goals.  It's been a busy year both professionally (field work) and personally (wedding, move,...)

It's time to get back on track and commit to some racing goals for next year.

Long-Term Running Goals:

The long-term goals are much easier--to stay healthy and happy! 

Personal:

Live in Broad Run, VA with my wife; work at US Geological Survey.  Baby cat running around to catch mice in our old house.

Same ol' run on the roads near home.  I felt very sluggish all day today and was hoping that the run would snap me out of it...no ceegar.   I was pooped the whole time...but I still managed to maintain a decent pace.  I'm not sure what my energy issues are stemming from, since I get plenty of sleep and food.  I'm generally fine if I'm moving (especially running), but the second I hit a chair I get so sleepy.  Not sure what to think of it...

Oh...today there was a full chorus of dogs barking at me.  4 on one side of the road, 3 on the other, all at the same time.  It was like hearing "i want to chew your face off so bad" in stereo in dog-speak.  That's just in one tiny spot--this run boasts the most dogs I've ever seen on a run.  These people all have a couple dogs outside just to bark at things. I love where I live.

And speaking of, MID-ATLANTIC BLIZZARD NUMBER TWO!!  WHOOO!!  Off to Western Maryland to the Allegheny Plateau to bust out nordic/tele skis and fish through the ice!

Thanks for the comment on the beard. But check this out: I'm in a Beard and Mustache Festival right now, it's a fundraiser during the month of Feb. Here's the competition, I'm out of my league:
