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.

Great morning run! It was dark with snow falling; running through neighborhoods. This close to Christmas I felt like caroling. There were a few brave friends who joined in. I love this time of the year! My legs are still fairly tired from the marathon, and putting in some miles last week. Hopefully the effort will pay off somehow.

I am almost done with Christmas cards, the shopping is completed. I still need to bake neighborhood treats and wrap the kids and wife's presents. Still a lot to do before the big day. I am looking forward to taking some time off and being with my family. They are great and it is hard not to spend as much time as I would like with them. I think most of all I am looking forward to playing Rockband 2 with my boys and my wife rocks with the vocals. Hopefully the kids will want to share the Xbox with their old dad.

Looking forward to a week of running with friends and plodding along in the snow.

Eric, have you ever run on the JR parkway (wherever it is you guys run on it) in the snow?? I am just wondering if it will be visible enough to run on it. I do not think it will be slippery, but I am worried we won't be able to find it! What do you think?

I never do Christmas cards, so I have that checked off! I think I might be done with Christmas shopping, but you never know!! Glad to hear you are done and I hope your kids share the new TOY with you!!!

Kelli,

You will be able to see the trail. I don't think it is supposed to snow before Saturday (cross your fingers). There are usually footprints and spots that show up. It won't be a problem, in fact it should provide a little cushion for your knees if there is enough snow pack.
