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 at ~7:30 pace. 

I had planned on a long trail run on saturday, but felt a cold coming on that bullied me into a more restful weekend.  I felt great this morning, though; that eastern sunrise wooed me along and promised me a great start to the week.  Oh, and there's lots of little workout stations along the trail, so i get fun breaks to do chin-ups etc--cool!

Have a great day, all.

I know we're supposed to encourage each other to run more on this blog, but I actually feel better when I read that other people take rest days. So I know I have company on the weekends. Don't get sick man. Later.

more like 3 days, actually.

don't feel bad, man.

(just don't let it happen again...)

Isn't your head already way above the chin-up bar as it is? Where's the challenge?

well, i wasn't going to say it, but i actually just practice my limbo during runs.

I always take Sundays off, and do so for two reasons. My interpretation of keeping the Sabbath day holy includes rest from vigorous exercise. And I think on top of that, one day of full rest every 7 days gives your body a chance to catch up on the recovery it might have missed.
