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.

Nice morning, I can't believe this is November! Ran for 4 miles before having to get the kids up and ready for the day. My music was a little bit slow, which for a slow runner slowed me down a bit. This afternoon I was able to get another run in and it was in the fifties. Gotta love this t-shirt weather. I will take it as long as it will last.

The sinus problems are back so I tried to sleep it off. Found some Sudafed and it seems to help. I did a 10:0pm run around the neighborhood when I started feeling better. The cray thing was is some of my neighbors are out running that time of night. Instead of worrying about getting mugged I was hanging out with friends. Running is quite the hobby for a lot of people.

Feeling much better today. Went for an afternoon run and had a little bit of extra kick that felt great running up the hills. The temperature was absolutely perfect and I hope we have a few more of these days left this year.

Long night working on projects so unable to drag my tail out of bed for running group. I think my work is getting the way of important things like running. Was able to get away from the office for a 5 mile run this afternoon. It did warm-up and turned out to be a really nice day.

Afternoon run up the canyon. It is starting to cool off. I wished I had my gloves on today. Maybe next time I will remember my freezing paws.

I had to wait to see my Cougars get ripped apart by a great Ute Defense and a quarterback and receiver squad that just made too many mistakes. What a cap to a year, the Democrats win the presidency and the Utes win the conference. I hope next year is better than this one.

Okay, that is enough of my temper tantrum. The morning started out great. I met Cheris, Michelle, Peggy, Julie and Wade for a nice morning run. It went by very quickly and I pushed pretty hard to keep up with them. About 7 miles into the run I really started to slow down but did my best. I think it is good to run with faster runners because it mentally beats you into shape. Either you hang in there or quit. I am trying to make myself hang-in-there. This evening I got very anxious during the game and went for a run.
