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 Sunday biathlon...why not?  Around 5.5 miles on the WOD at ~7:30 pace immediately followed by a half hour lap swim.  Then a huge meal of corned beef, cabbage, soda bread, and guinness.  life is good.

Back to the standard noon-time run. Ran ~7:25's quite comfortably. Starting to explore slightly different stride/biomechanics to minimize impact on joints (slightly less impact on heal; moving impact slightly forward on my foot) to avoid future injury. (47:53)

pm: About an hour at the Y, mostly upper body.

Lunchtime 6 miles on the WOD. I went out sorta hard (built up tension) and then slowly tapered off thereafter. Averaged ~7:40's. (45:44)

35 minute lapswim.  I wanted a mid-week break from leg impact...and i think it helped.

Extremely windy lunch-hour run!  It was actually a lot of fun--gusts of wind up to 40 mph.  I kept the pace chill (it was actually hard to gauge with wind swirling around me all the time), but it was right around 7:45's.  Everything feels great!

Left work at 3:30 to go climbing at Great Falls.  It's saturday afternoon now and i've got a slightly sore bum and back right before heading out for 10 miles.

 A pretty chill 10 miles on the wod this afternoon. Average pace 7:46; 1:17.  Everything feels very good, mechanics feel "correct", and i don't feel tired at all.  For some reason I thought I'd be rusty after some relaxed weeks, but i'm feeling very good!  And hungry.
