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.

5 miles on the WOD.  I felt surprisingly sloppy and out of form.  I knew that taking 3 days off due to friends in town would throw me off, but I underestimated it.  Now that I'm out of the field and on my home trail, I'm looking to get it all back as quickly and carefully as possible.

Good ol' 6 mile WOD run.  Jimminy Crock it's humid here.  It completely kicks my trash to run in air this thick and smoggy.  I'll be worthless for anything other than sitting today.  Sick.

3 mile out-and-back on the WOD.  Incredibly tight hamstring from sitting on planes too much this weekend.  Aside from that, everything was perfect.  The humidity has lifted a bit, which just helps the psyche.  At this point, I'm just running for maintenance and giving up on improvement, as I will be off my feet and in a canoe in AK for quite some time.  I plan to hit things much harder upon my return in late august.

am:  A gorgeous morning for the classic ol' 3 mile out-and-back on the wod.  7:35 best; 8:02 avg.  With all the travelling I've done lately, i haven't been able to keep the core nice and strong, so I'm feeling a little flimsy out there.  Need to keep swimming and hit the gym when i return from AK.

pm: 45 minutes in gym: back, shoulders, arms

First day back on the legs since I left for Alaska a couple weeks back.  Felt pretty nice to get off the legs for a while and paddle, actually.  I did 4 miles this morning at 8:00 pace just to see how everything's working.  So far so good--the legs feel great, although my back felt a bit tweaked after a few miles.  Something to keep my eyes on.

am: A quick leg-stretcher with one of my house-mates.  He used to run but is quite out-of-shape at the moment.  I've been trying to get these guys to run for months, and i'm hoping this is a sign that i've got a taker...
