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.

8 miles on the panhandle trail in Pittsburgh.  Last minute trip up north for family things led me to a GORGEOUS run.  I may have slightly overdone it, though, as my knees are not having a good time of it.

Gym day--pretty generalized upper body workout.  The knees are still a little achy from Monday's run, and I'm not sure why, so I just completely laid off today.

I took the new bike out tonight to the Difficult Run trail system in Reston.  The quick and short of it is that it's an absolute cream-puff.  I can't believe how the thing climbs, corners, and handles obstacles.  I effortlessly and smoothly roll over things that used to just about bounce me off the trail, and that ain't no exaggeration.  Having the lockout was a bit awkward at first, but I've already grown quite used to it and was using it for pretty much every hill climb by the end of the ride.  I have to do some minor tweaks to get the geometry closer to my own (mainly lengthen it--bring the seat back a tad and put a longer stem on it), but otherwise she's good to go!

One more gym stint before splitting for Aruba.  Good ol' destination weddings...

4 miles on da beach on some barrier island near Charleston, SC.  Down for the second wedding of the month...

This was probably more like a 7 mile run, but since I brought no watch and I'm not sure, I'll call it 6.  This was one of those absolutely perfect beach runs--great weather, compacted sand, high noon, followed by a nice dip in the water.  Surreal.
