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.

6 miles on the roads close to home over a fresh layer of snow.  We got about 5" out by our place on Friday night which made for an absolutely gorgeous weekend.  We hiked on saturday a few miles, but not really mentionable for the blog--just a nice walk.

2000 meters in the pool.  Nice and strong today, but pooped by the end.  This was a pretty serious stroke workout (back, fly, breast), and I'm a freestyle kind of dude.

6 miles on the roads close to home.  This was the beginning of a storm that brought 5 inches of snow, but it hadn't accumulated enough to really throw me off.  Feelin' strong and chipping time off the total time for this run.

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!
