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 WOD heading west from home.  My legs were pretty heavy at first, and then they remained heavy.  The whole time.  I was on autopilot the last two miles, so it didn't matter by then anyway.  Averaged exactly 8:00 pace.

Hiked 5 miles in the evening out at Annapolis Rocks and came way too close to getting it from a Copperhead.  God was looking out for us this time...

noon: 6 miles on the Reston trails with O'Connor.  We were both feeling a bit sluggish today, especially at first, but we sped it up a bit by the end.  Probably averaged slightly slower than 8:00 pace. 

pm: 12 mile roundtrip liesurely bike ride to Vienna for frozen custard. Gorgeous evening!

noon: 2200 meters in the pool.  Good solid workout, and don't feel too beat afterward.  I'm afraid I'm getting in better swimming shape than running shape.

pm: 45 minutes at the gym.  Just trying to get back into some sort of a routine.

noon: Six miles on the WOD out in Reston with O'Connor.  HOT.  But felt pretty stinking good, given the slow pace...

pm: ~45 minutes core workout in the gym; focus on back and tri's.

am: exactly six miles on the WOD from my house to the Vienna Inn for breakfast.  2 eggs, sausage (patties), rye toast, american fries, coffee.  delicious.  the run was...ok, but not as good as the food.  too humid for my blood.  no watch; wanted to simply enjoy and forget about pace.  happy friday.
