Honestly, I need to get my PR's compiled. This is something I started a year ago and then lost my file. I have them on my old computer but need to dig them out. There is still more I need to find. Short-Term Running Goals: February 1st: Frosty 5k
February 22nd: Run for the Cookies
April 6th: Scranton Half Marathon (with Wes)
July 19th: New York Giants Run of Champions
October: Gettysburg Half Marathon
On top of some races, need to lose some weight to get to a good competition weight and also need to get rid of all my injuries. I would also like to drop my times
This year I would also like to hit 1000 miles during the year. Long-Term Running Goals: I think that eventually I would like to qualify for Boston. That is something that weighs on me but not as bad as not completing a marathon. Think I will take the approach of trying to complete a marathon within the next 3 years and then we will see after that.
I also want to keep dropping my times and stay competitive in age groups and get competitive overall. Personal: I am 29 years old, soon to be 30 and I have the best most supportive wife (Courtney) and we just had our first child (Isaac) in December. I ran track most of high school and one year of Cross Country. I then went to college where I ran for a year on the college team. Since then I have been trying to get myself back on track with my running, I run more days then not but I have not been able to have one year without some type of injury. I would really like to get back to being injury free and a competitive runner. |

| | 3:10. Boy that was a long run today. Most of the miles went smooth, about 20 my legs were getting to the point where I needed to walk just a little. After hitting mile 21 my hip started to bother me and I needed to walk/run the last mile. I still have hope for this marathon, just at a reasonable pace. I am feeling like I am getting there and I am the closest I have ever been. I actually felt better then when I did the 18 mile run. |

| | I am going to call it 11 today because it was a little short (10.8 or 10.9). Either way it was not the 18 it was supposed to be. Diaster is the word that would describe todays run. My hip started bothering me on my first 6 mile loop and then became almost unbareable the second 6 mile loop so I cut the loop short and quit. I know that quitting is not good but I think that it was in my best interest today, I did this to save myself any injury heading into next weekends 24 miler, with the marathon only 3 weekends away I need to make sure that I am healthy and when I get done over half of todays run I guess it isn't to bad. Disappointed to say the least, but I am getting so close to getting my first marathon I can taste it. I need to just stay healthy and I think in a month I will be able to say I did my first marathon. (Any suggestions on hip stretches would be great). The next 3 weeks hardcore stretching, I need to keep myself healthy. |

| | This was supposed to be a 24 miler, but with having the whole week off, I could not handle and had to call it a day at 12. This run felt very similar to that 18 miler a few weeks back when everything went wrong. So everything felt tired and on top of that, my hip was irratating me some too. I did not have many problems with my calf, so that was good. Still have some hope for that marathon in 2 weeks, however if that doesnt happen, I have another 1/2 or full marathon in June that I will be prepared for. |

| | Pretty good run, the hip and calf were a little problematic, but overall pretty good. I think that I will be doing the half next weekend as I have been struggling during the week just to make sure I get my long run in on Saturdays. Today I negative split and had a pretty good time for 10 miles (1:13.22 38:22 for the first five and 35:00 for the second five) I think I am ready for a good half marathon next weekend. I just wish I could stay injury free for a while so that I can get my marathon in, next attempt will be June 13th. I am crossing my fingers. |
