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.

An afternoon of climbing at Great Falls directly followed by an 8-mile run.  I ran with a roommate for a couple miles at ~8:30, and then he dropped out and i took it down to ~7:40's.  Everything feels good!

noon: 3-mile out and back on the WOD near work.  A very gusty spring day with constant threat of showers.  Smells/feels/sounds wonderful!  I was a bit groggy, pulling out ~7:45's.  I haven't been achieving stellar mileage lately, but I feel great about the cross-training.  Everything just feels a bit more solid and happy, and i'm building strength in my legs, so I think it's a great option for the spring season.  I'm excited to step it up this sunday at the Cherry Blossom 10-miler (running under the alias of Jonathon Strong for money-related reasons)!

Noon: 6 miles on the WOD for a lunch break.  Everything felt pretty darn good, including this sunny, breezy, low 60's weather.  Ran ~7:40's.

Noon: Six miles on the WOD at lunch today. Started nice 'n strong and ended a bit slower than I started, but stuck it around 7:30's. Everything's feeling fine, except for a small twinge in the groin. I've been trying to stretch it robustly, but it's still a bit of a bother. We'll see if i can kick it before the race on saturday...and no, i don't need help with that.

pm: ~ one somewhat sleepy hour in the gym.  Not the best energy state for flinging steel.

The weather was dramatically better than the forecast, so Great Falls beckoned for a good hike.  A few walkin' miles seemed appropriate the day before the race.
