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.

Approximately 4-5 miles this morning near Plainville, CT.  I'm visiting my dentist friend and his wife for the weekend--pretty state, that Connecticut...

am: 3 mile out-and-back this morning on the beautiful WOD.  We're stuck in a gorgeous high-pressure system right now and it's just rockin' my socks off.  I was actually chilly this morning!  Not sure if it's the weather or what, but I had a surprisingly strong run this morning with a best mile at 6:28 and an average at 7:28.  A great way to start the week.

pm: about an hour at the Y doing a generalized upper body workout.  lots of reps, less weight, making sure everything's up to snuff.

am: Biked ~15 miles to work. I packed lots of food, running clothes, swimming gear, and work clothes for tomorrow. ~20 lbs on my back. Felt sorta goofy and extended my ride by about 10 minutes.

pm: Just over a mile of open-water swimming. Goodbye $4/time dirty high school swimming pool, hello nice people at Lake Anne who let me walk through their house to go swimming. Score.

noon: Just barely cool enough to do a lunch run today.  I did a few minor intervals, but nothing crazy.  but that was enough to take my breath away pretty good in this humidity.  probably ran something like 7:45's.

pm: biked 15 miles home and felt TOUGH.  It was great!

pm: Biked 3 miles to Lake Anne and swam ~1.4 miles.  The swim will be quite easy for me on sunday.  I'm just curious now to see how well I do with transitions.   I did a mock swim-bike transition after swimming last night, and it was pretty fast and smooth.

am: 6 miles on the WOD west of home.  I was pretty sluggish in the legs this morning, which is likely because of a rather hard swim last night.  I'll bike home nice 'n easy tonight and then take tomorrow off.
