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. |

| | Today was a very hot run. I got slower mile by mile, it was close if not 100 out there today and tomorrow is supposed to be just as bad. Running felt good the heat just didn't. But I love summer so I am not going to complain I am glad that it isn't winter. |

| | This was supposed to be a tempo run, since the night was screwed up I did the run like a tempo run but on a hill course so I did it in about 39:33 (20 out and 19:33 back). I am pretty pleased, wish I would have been on flat ground to see if it did what I was supposed to do, but oh well. Also, the heat was somewhat of a factor, the high was in the high 90's. I did the run at 7:15 so it cooled off some but it was still very warm. |

| | EZ run tonight and boy did I take it easy. I ended up doing it in 8:45 per mile pace. Once again it was hot, I had to eat dinner before the run and it was a little later then normal. Glad that I was out of the sweltering heat though. |

| | This was a 10k race that wasn't actually a race. I ran it in 43:30, which translates to 7:00 per mile pace. I am happy and I hope that times like that will happen when it comes to half-marathon time. |

| | Today was an okay run. I ran decent pace for the first two miles, felt like I got much slower and ended decently. I am feeling okay, not to many aches and pains so I cannot complain. |

| | These were 8x400's. I ran them on the treadmill as the track is closed off now due to renovations. I remember why I hate running on the treadmill now. These weren't too bad but slower then when I run on the track as I was having a hard time trying to convert the mile time into 400 time (brain fart). I know that I ran the last one at 1:15 but once again on the treadmill I don't always trust what it says. Oy! At least I had an awesome night bowling!!! |

| | Pretty fast run today even though I didn't need to do that. I enjoyed the pace but probably should have taken it a little easier. |

| | Moved Saturdays run to Sunday and I am going to move Sunday's run to Monday if my foot isn't bothering me. Today something pinched in my arch and I don't know what it is. |

Iron Heritage Festival 5k (3.1 Miles) 00:20:32, Place overall: 14, Place in age division: 1 | | Decent race, didn't think I would do well but I did surprisingly well. My plantar facitis is acting up some again but didn't bother me during the race. We will see what happens. |

| | Not to bad of a run. I tied my shoes tighter and it seemed to help for some of the run. I am trying to get this PF to go away. It will sooner or later. |

| | Today was 9x400. I had to run it on the treadmill again, I set it at 1:20 for the first 8 and then about 1:17 for the last one. My foot was feeling better today so that is a plus. Now I just need to keep the stretching going and hopefully it will work it out. |

| | I ran this in 1:16.54 which is 7:39 pace. I felt pretty good, there were a couple tight things and my PF was irritated for part of the run. I pushed through and it feels okay now. I am just glad that I can still run longer distances since I have been doing shorter things and have not been doing many long runs. I really turned on the power the last 4 miles, I wanted to see what I could do. Today was supposed to be a 15k race but I haven't done a long run so I chose a long run with a nice pick up at the end. |
