Short-Term Running Goals:

to continue to improve.  Would love to get the elusive BQ.  Ive been a consistent runner since 2006 but I truly didn't take training seriously until the fall of 2010.  Before that.. I pretty much relied on my athletic ability to just get me to the finish line of events.  Still truly haven't figured out the marathon distance.  Currently just spending time awaiting for my marathon training to begin in June.  Aiming for a strong fall Marathon PR.  We will see.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Have to finish NYC, Boston, Pikes Peak & Chicago.  After that would love a shot at Commrades and possibly a 100 miler.  Who wouldn't want a belt buckle.

Personal:

Married with two kids (9 & 5)

Marathon Maniac #2635  woo hoo!!

Im trying to keep this weeks mileage in the mid 50 range so I had to cut tonights run short by a little bit.. I still have a Saturday 18 miler and a Sunday half the distance run.  Tonights 10k should put me right where I want to be. 

I was cruising along somewhere on mile 3 and a dog darts out from behind me and then cuts me off big time.. sadly my knee landed squarely to his head on the upswing.. I damn near knocked the poor dog out.  I briefly stopped to see if the dog was ok.. the owners who were walking the track werent that far behind and saw the entire thing go down.  No apology no nothing!!  Seriously who brings a dog to the track where people are running??  If my season would have gone down that way to an injury or fall.. I would have been pissed big time!!  Then on two more occasions.. the dog is darting around me.. I finally had to start yelling at the dog.  Shake my head.  The two ladies with the dog finally left the track area.

Despite the animal challenge.. the run came very easy.
