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.

This marks my first triathlon!  I enjoyed it as much as or even more than I had anticipated.  It was very nice to incorporate a bit of the swimming and biking I'm doing all the time into something competetive.  I decided to do the sprint distance for my first, which was likely a smart option  (.4 mile swim, 16.5 mile bike, 5k run). I would have been fine doubling the swim and the run, but doing 16.5 miles x 2 on the bike would have been painful.  I've already got another one on the schedule for October 4th!  Whoot whoot!

(watchband broke--no clue what individual event times were...)

6 miles snaking through the residential streets of Hood River, OR.  Beautiful city.  Wish i had my debit card when i ran past Full Sail Brewery...

4 miles on some gravel roads up the Squamish Valley (~1 hour from Squamish, BC).  It's just not fair.  No one should be able to live in such a beautiful place.

8 mile trail run, also up Squamish Valley.  Old growth temperate rainforest.  Good glory it was purty!
