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.

I google-earthed this run and feel obligated to say that it's about 2 tenths of a mile short of 7...but I'm going to stick with 7.  Because I can.

Today was my last day for running in loverly NC, so I ran it good 'n hard.  7:30's.  That is "good 'n hard" on days' when I'm hoisting drilling rods all day long...

am: Six miles today on the WOD right at home.  Felt great to be back on the home field once again.  I went out expecting a wildly enthusiastic run, and was surprised to see how difficult it was to do much of anything better than 7:45's.  I finished strong, though, with a 7:09.  Kind of short of breath...

pm: Approximately a 20 mile spin on the mountain bike on gravel trails.  Nice way to stretch the legs a bit.

A pleasant, drizzly six miles on the WOD right close to home.  My legs were a tad tight/lethargic after Sunday's bike ride, but I was still able to pull off ~7:40's.  Followed by some minor core strength training exercises.

Waited out some intense storms and then put in 6 miles on the WOD dodging puddles.  A beautiful evening!
