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.

Nice run up City Creek.  I did 5 hill sprints going up with recoveries in between and then ran 3 miles at marathon pace going down hill.  I took the last mile back to the capital pretty easy.

I only had 35 minutes to run during my lunch, so I did a mile warm up, 4x400s at my vo2 max pace with full recoveries in between and a mile cool down.  Good quick run. 

I also started day one of the one hundred pushup and two hundred sit up challenge.  I saw somebody else doing it on here, I did some investigating and I thought I would give it a try.  So far so good.

Pushups = 6, 6, 4, 4, 8.

Situps = 9, 9, 6, 6, 30.

Day one was pretty easy, but it will get harder.
