Short-Term Running Goals:

I have decided to follow Sasha's advice in his article "How to Qualify for Boston."  So this winter, I am working on my endurance by running six days a week.  I started by running three miles everyday and as long as I feel like going on Saturday (but never more than 3x my daily distance).  I am slowly trying to build my daily mileage to 10 miles per day.  I hope to get there by early next summer. 

Long-Term Running Goals:

To run until the day I die. To run a marathon under 3 hours. 

Personal:

I am married to my beautiful wife and I have three children.

I did the 5k in St. George with some of my fellow RunAmoks.  I was pleased with my time as I was 10 seconds faster than I was at Holladay last June.  When I got to the start line Coach Bill told me to ease into it, that we didn't need to be heroic.  So I got into a good pace, kept it going through the middle, and then finished strong.  I was laboring a bit towards the end, but Miriam came up behind me and gave me a good push ... and we finished right at the same time.  This was my second fastest 5k time, so I think that is a harbinger of things to come this year.

Ran up City Creek 3 miles and back down.  It was good to get out of the gunk a little bit.

Did a speed workout on the treadmill.  I did 6x400s @ 1:30 for each with full recovery (about 2-3 minutes each).  I did a 2 mile warmup and then a 1 mile cool down and then I stretched and did a little bit of core work.

Easy run up Emigration from Ruth's to the top of the hill and back.  Nice run with the group, but cold.
