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.

A fairly leisurely run along the W & OD trail that begins in DC and heads west for ~45 miles or so.  Not quite the river trail, but it is well-maintained, there are many short stretches through old-growth forest, and it has very nice gravel shoulders (for those of us who appreciate softer surfaces).  This followed by an hour of fairly strenuous weight-lifting at the gym--i felt like a truck ran over me this morning, if you want to know the truth.

By the way--I haven't looked at who else is on this, but "hello" to all you Logan Transplants.  I'd give Paul's left arm to go for a nice saturday morning run with y'all.

If you're ever in the nation's capital, you've got a place to stay.

Wait...you moved?

Welcome to the blog, Tall Guy.

Apparently you used to live in Logan - how do you like DC? It's not fair talking about old growth forests and stuff... Not much of that down here in Southern Utah.

Old growth is cool, and i appreciate it, but never underestimate the healing powers of the desert.
