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.

Ben,

I thought you were a lover not a killer?

Hey do you ever talk to Jon Felis, if so what is he upto?

I don't know about CanyonLands, I have never ran it before. If I can stay in a little bit of shape over the winter, and I can get into the race, I might give it a shot. What about you?

Both of you -- get in Canyonlands. The lottery opens tomorrow.

Ben, that's an interesting comment about being below where you'd like to be (on your other entry). I feel that way sometimes here, it's surprising to me how long it takes to "fit" into what you think life should be after the scenery and commitments change. At least that's what I tell myself, and then go run or sit on the porch. That always helps.
