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 small jog just to stretch everything out at the end of a weekend full of walks 'n hikes but no runs.  My trusty orthodics moved on to bigger and better places (the bottom of the potomac), and this was my first run without them.  So far so good, but I was kind of scared.

Skipped the run to the pool due to rain and very tight calves.  2000 meters in the pool, and I finally felt STRONG.  I was slowed down by those in front of me and felt like i was only at ~70% most of the time.

Kristin and I hiked the Billy Goat liesurely and saw AMAZING wildlife (my first male and female indigo buntings!).

Followed that up with 7 miles on the towpath.  I can tell my running has been neglected--that 7 miles should have been much easier, even after the hike.
