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.

4 mile hike in the am at Big Schloss, and 6 miles on the WOD in the evening at 8:00 pace.  My back feels ok while running, provided I maintain good form and look quasi-straight ahead.

pm: 45 minute lapswim. Struggled to remain not-overly-frustrated with the old men I shared a lane with.

Followed by one hour lifting with focus on back and bi's.

early pm: 6 miles on the wod.  I pushed it a bit and still only cranked 8:00's.  Gonna have to be patient for a little while...

later: half hour gym workout.  My first time back on chest after tweaking my back really bad last friday (second chiro visit today).

early pm: 2nd Chiro visit.

Equally as scary, but the adjustment was easier this time around. I have to decide soon how many times I'm willing to go...

evening: Drove to Great Falls from work and ran 1.5 miles to wake myself up. Climbed with my good friend Dan at Aid Box and put up some pretty encouraging climbs. Also did some of my first aid climbing, which is friggin exhausting. Followed by delicious pizza and beer at the Lost Dog.

am: Biked to work.  15 miles of glorious WOD riding.  First time ever with contacts in my eyes.  It was like a dream...

pm: Biked home.  My biking muscles are feeling surprisingly strong...it's a bit strange. 

This weekend I'm off to CT to get some free dental work done by my college suite-mate.  It likely won't be the most active weekend I've ever had.

6 miles on the WOD out in Reston.  I hadn't planned on doing a noon-time run today, but it was just so freaking nice I couldn't resist.  I felt happy and strong.
