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.

4 miles at a fairly brisk pace (not sure exactly, but around 7:30 with some pickups) followed by a very short upper body workout at the gym.  Just enough to remind my muscles that they are indeed muscles.

Noon: 2000 meters in the pool with a group of guys who've been doing 2k every monday, wednesday, and friday for years.  Not sure how many days a week I'll join them, but I'm very excited to be pushed in the pool!  I feel worked!

pm: 2 mile jog to warm up the blood, and then to the gym for a quick workout.  Primarily chest and upper back.

noon: 6 ice rink-ish miles in Reston with O'Connor.  Fun conditions!!  One second looking away from your feet and you can plan on taking a digger.  I only took one, and it was in front of lots of traffic on Reston Parkway, so I figure that makes up for all the close calls where I saved myself.  Good times!

pm: an hour at the gym--mostly just arms (feeling too skinny these days) and some legs.

Noon: And I thought it was slippery yesterday!  I should statistically be dead right now, for all the sliding I did on bridges and approaching oncoming cars.  Wow.  Fun run, though!

noon: 2km workout in Reston.  4 sets of 100-100-100-200

Definitely the hardest swim I've ever done.  This workout went borderline anaerobic for uncomfortably long periods of time, which is exactly what I need to kick my butt into swim-shape.

10 miles today on the WOD heading west from home.  It felt great mentally to know I could go at whatever pace I wanted and then eat food and nap afterward.  But now that I ate lots of food and slept an hour, I feel terrible.  Is this what constipation feels like?  Really?!  This is terrible!  

But the run was good.  solid 8:15's except where frozen over.

sheesh...
