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.

For some strange reason I was all full of pep and energy at 5:30 this morning and went for a run in the freshly fallen snow. It was so fun and I really tried to push it. I have heard from a lot of people (including Kelli) that the only way I am going to get faster is to actually run faster! So I decided to put it to use. Every part of my started to hurt but it was a good satisfactory hurt that bring progress.

 I really want good things to happen this year and I must be willing to put in the effort. Can't wait to do some of those track repeats. Bring on the Marquis De Sade!

 This afternoon I ran to the office of one of my clients and it was fantastic. Steep uphill heading out and very fast downhill on the way back. Oh, and did I mention that the air is finally clear!? What a difference a couple of storms make.

Eric, you are amazing! I thought you were going to lay off this week, but it looks like that only lasted about 5.5 hours :) Great job today, keep up the good work and hopefully we'll see you in the morning.
