Running Accomplishments:

Once beat Cheryl at the Hobble Creek Half Marathon about three years ago, and kept up with Peggy for 100m four years ago. Completion of 52 marathons to date.

I enjoy the marathon distance. It demands consistency in training and provides a constant goal to work towards. Could not run without the support of my great family and friends. 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Stay healthy would be the number one goal. To accomplish this long-term feat I need to cross-train and add strength training into the mix.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Someday I would like to qualify for Boston although at the moment it seems very tough!

Personal:

Love running, music, art, food, friends and family in no particular order it just depends on the day.

A very early morning, 5:00am wake up call. Met my friend Rob for an early morning run around the Taylorsville area. Plenty of hills to climb near 5400 and 6200 south. The miles seemed to fly by quickly which felt really good. Talked about the economy and the elections coming up. Some very interesting discussion about the blame people are putting on the government and investment houses when a lot of the issue comes from people not being financially responsible and biting off more than they can chew. I think there is plenty of blame to go around but I hope and pray that we can learn from the mistakes of the past and move on. Human nature is such a crazy thing and I am not sure an election is going to change or improve everything. It seems like an attitude adjustment and taking responsibility for our own actions will bring about real change.

Went on an afternoon run to stretch out my quads, they are tighter than a drum. It was mostly uphill and I took a path was was gradual on the downhill.

By the way, I love Fall! Love the colors of the leaves and the crisp air. Can't wait to run with the group tomorrow and hear what everyone has going on. Great to have good company to run with.

Hey Eric, I just have to say, I soooo agree with you on the problems with our country. A couple of weeks ago, I was telling a friend of mine that this is a good wake up call for many of us and that our kids really need it. We so live in an instant gratification society, don't we? Hopefully we can all learn from this and move on like you said.

Nice run and we missed you this morning.
