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.

Exactly one hour trail running in the Shenandoah NP followed by exactly one hour road biking in the foothills below.  An absolutely gorgeous day to be out for a mini biathlon in the Virginia mountains.  Back home now with food in my belly, heavy eyes, and a smile.  Butt and knee are ok and ready to rock.

noon:  Good ol' lunchtime 6 miles.  Slightly poor judgement, to be honest.  I was sweating way more than I thought I'd be by the end, and I don't have a towel here for showering purposes.  I "blotted" myself with wet towels in a single-seater bathroom , but I'm still pretty gross.  ANYWAY...a good run!  Relaxed, around ~8:00 min/miles.  The legs surely felt yesterday, though.

pm: About one hour in the gym; all upper body.  it's tuesday morning now and my body is WORKED.  SLEEPY!!

Again!  6 nooner miles.

Good times, great weather, slow run.  I felt like I was fast and strong, but my watch said otherwise.  8:00 min/miles today.  Eh, they were fun!

am: 14 mile ride to work.  Stopped halfway for some eggs 'n sausage at the Vienna Inn.

pm: 14 mile ride home...no Vienna Inn, but I made a great chicken/black bean burrito.  that's almost as good.

I spent ~45 minutes at the gym on upper body lifting and felt the protein boost of chicken 'n beans.

Today's going to be a doozy over here (HOT!), so I got 'em in before work.  I'm not used to waking up early and running anymore and it was surprisingly difficult, even though I did this every day last year.  It took 1.5 miles to wake up, and another ~2.5 miles to get warmed up.  I lumbered along at first with ~8:20's and finished with a 7:40...avg 8:04.  Not bad, I suppose.
