Short-Term Running Goals:

I have a half coming up in august in Provo that I talked my wife into trying, and I just started training again for the St George marathon.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Of course I would some day love to qualify for Boston.

Personal:

When I started running, which was back in Feb. of 2007, I weighed 110 lbs. more than I do now.  Although I do not run as fast as I would like, I feel like as long as I continue to progress, I can make it to my goals. I have found that running has been essential to keeping the weight off for me.  When I start to take it easy after a race is over, that is when the pounds can creep back on!

I got myself to the gym and did an hour on the treadmill.  I am trying to increase slowly so I do not hurt myself, although it is super frustrating!

I intended on running a little longer, but my wife was done at the gym after she finished her session with the trainer.  It is probably a good thing, since I am going to try to make the Wed morning run for the first time in a while.

I was able to get up and go running with the local group this morning. I am still taking it slow and steady, which is frustrating, but at the same time I know it is the smart way to go.  So far so good this week...

I was able to get to the gym during my break long enough to do 30 minutes on the treadmill.

I got up before my 11 hour shift for the second Saturday in a row! I can see it getting easier little by little to go farther in the same amount of time.  I just want my shins to get back into shape...

Today I was just glad to have made it to the gym.  I got up late and had to do some honeydo's. The run really took it out of me, but I was able to squeak a little more distance out of the 60 minutes than I did Saturday...
