| Member Since: Mar 01, 2007 Gender: Male Goal Type: Other Running Accomplishments: I don't really keep good track, but here's what I found online:

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 lovely sunday afternoon run! I haven't been able to achieve the the mileage I've wanted for a couple weeks now on account of my blown out shoes and the ~2 week difference between expected and actual delivery date of my new pair. They arrived yesterday!! I celebrated with some extra miles. It felt amazing today--fresh shoes, great weather, and hordes of happy, smiling people. I averaged a comfortable 7:50 pace and felt confident that i'll be ready for some speed workouts in the next week or so. At this point, i'm just hoping this weather holds out for a while... | | Add Comment |

| | noon: 6 miles on the WOD near the USGS. I went out right as a snowy cloud was coming overhead, and was out there for its climax. Felt great to feel some winter air poking at my bare face and numbing my lips! Finally a little seasonality. The hamstrings are acting up and tightening up everytime I get out--very possibly due to pushing it a little harder than desired on sunday. Kept a very mellow pace; around or slightly above 8:00. | | Comments(2) |
| | Extremely relaxed 3.5 mile run to the gym, followed by an hour of light upper body lifting. After discussing hamstring tightness with Paul, I've decided to take it easy. I plan to maintain my present fitness with moderate mileage at a slower pace, but I won't push anything until my legs are up for it. Why must hangstrings be such a pain the butt? What'd we ever do to them? | | Add Comment |
| | I'm with Dave--no need to increase mileage by too much in a single week. And since it was snowy/rainy yesterday and I wanted to make a huge batch of Chili, I took the day off. Conditions will be better this weekend anyway (hopefully??) | | Comments(1) |

Just a touch more than 6.5 miles on the WOD west of Leesburg, VA. Always nice to house/dogsit for someone closer to the country where a person can explore new trails (or portions of the same trail...)! The hamstrings are feeling a wee bit better. This was very much like an out-and-back run on the river trail in Logan; long gradual up followed by long gradual down (~8:10's on the way up, 7:30's down). I was hoping to swim today (saturday), but apparently the Leesburg Y is closed on weekends. So: to the trail with my butt again. I'm already at the mileage I wanted for the week, so I'll probably just keep it very relaxed (no watch). | | Add Comment |
