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. |

| | Started off pretty good but got much harder. I am glad that I am getting a chance to get some 5k's in but I am going to need to get back to longer runs so I can be ready for the half marathon in August. Need to stay injury free though. |

JesVic (3.1 Miles) 00:19:57 | |
Saturday I did something I never did before, ran 2 5-k's. The first 5-k was at 9am, JesVic 5-k and I ran it in 19:57 reaching my 2010 goal of being under 20:00 in a 5k. Pretty easy course one reasonably sized hill but mostly flat and downhill. I finished 18th overall out of 210. Not to bad of a race and I am looking forward to doing it next year.
The second race was at 5pm so I had plenty of time to relax. The sun however was out and the temperature was way up. The course was definitely filled with rolling hills, and proved somewhat of a challenge. I ended up finishing it in 20:11, good enough for a third place overall.
I was pleased with both races and running two races in one day was actually easier then what I thought and I am glad to help two really good causes. I would be interested in doing it again some time. |

Today was 8x400 again. Today I was a little sore still from the races but I ran better.
1:30,1:30,1:26,1:25,1:23,1:21,1:20,1:15
This was better then last week, hopefully I am moving to a faster 5k this weekend then what I did this past weekend. I am hoping for a nice 19:45 or so. Feeling pretty good very little aches and pains. |

| | Comfortable run today, weather was gorgeous and I felt pretty good. Right leg is a little sore again but nothing I cannot control right now. I am starting to wonder if I am missing something because I cannot get this right leg to get fully healed, if it isnt my lower calf it is my hip. I need to do some research and determine what I can do to make it better, because more distance is coming in a few weeks. |

| | Glad to have been out running again since the back injury. I think I am better, unfortunately I have bowling again tomorrow night and am afraid my back will not make it through. |

8x400's again, YAY!!!!! 1:34,1:29,1:27,1:26,1:24,1:22,1:22, and 1:17. Not my best round of them, I understand that I am coming off a few not so great weeks but still not terribly satisfied. I wish the second 1:22 was just a shade lower, I like lowering the time each time, I feel like it will help when it counts. Overall, I am not feeling to bad, my plantar is starting to remind me it is there but not too bad. I am starting to get a hankering for some long runs and some half-marathon training.
Funny side note: I have had 3 people in the past 2 days ask me what 13.1 means since they see my car and it has one of those magnets on it. Amusing since it has been on my car for over a month. |

Ringtown 5k "The Loop" (3.1 Miles) 00:20:18, Place overall: 5, Place in age division: 2 | | Had a pretty good race, would have loved to be under 20:00 min but there was a decent amount of hills and kinda long ones at that. The description was 'mild' hills on the course but after all of my experiences these were a little more then mild hills for a 5k. The other added fun was the 80 some degrees and high humidity. Overall great to have run this and will run it next year, but on to half marathon training to get ready for the 22nd of August. |
