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.

Nooner WOD run today.  Beautiful day for a run, averaged ~7:45 pace.  I'm having strange pains just behind the large bone that's behind the big toe...left foot.  I feel like it started from wearing my Keen casual shoes, but i'm not entirely sure.  If it continues/worsens, I think I'll go buy a new pair of Wave Rider 11's, as the WR 10's are complete disappointments.  Long run tomorrow.

What's wrong with WR 10?

Good!

I'm having a great time. Not going to break any world records or anything, but sure am enjoying getting back into shape. We've got gorgeous weather over here...wow. You survivin' the cold?

jon--i'm not sure. i bought ~4 pair of the 9's and loved them. then mizuno put out the 10's and they only lasted a very short amount of time before they put out the 11's. i think they saw their mistake and moved on. they're just...not the same. i can't explain it.

oh...and the 11's look exactly like the 9's. gonna try some on this weekend...

No! I am so sick of it snowing every other day. I shovel snow everyday and get pelted with snow every run. I have permanent muscle damage in my back, arms and shoulders from all of the snow removal. I am glad to have snow, but enough is too much!
