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.

3.18 miles.
Highland High loop from my house. It felt good to get up early and get it out of the way. |

Another small victory. I have never been one to get up early to do anything. But for the second day in a row, I got up early and ran before work. Today's run was a little bit easier than yesterday's run. |

| Another easy 3 mile run (the Highland High Loop). Still getting used to the early morning schedule, but it seems to be getting easier. |

I got in 3.25 on the treadmill today. Coral had to go to work today at 5:30 am, so I couldn't get out in the morning, but I had a decent run this afternoon. |

My dog and I did a four mile run on the Highland High loop from the house. He did a good job.
He has caught on to my new morning routine, and he insisted on coming. I guess I have a new running buddy. |

3.18 miles from the house with Stockton. Good run. It's not nearly so hard getting up to run any more. The hard part for me is going to bed early. But it's amazing how quickly habits form. |

| I ran 4.5 miles with my dog. Then I dropped him off at the house and ran another 4 miles. It was a beautiful morning. I especially enjoyed running in the park. I wish it would stay like this all year. |

4 mile run in the neighborhood. When I woke up and saw the wind and the lightning, I said "no thanks, I'm going back to bed." But my dog had other ideas. He wasn't about to let me go back to sleep. So we went out and had a good run. By the time I got out there, the wind had stopped blowing. But the lightning was a little scary.
It looks like I won't be missing too many runs.

Easy 3.2 mile run around the neighborhood with my dog. I felt tired today. I need to get back to sleeping 8 hours per night. 7 just isn't cutting it. |

| Uneventful run around the neighborhood. My dog pulled me more than I pulled him today. And he really doesn't like it when we get passed. I think he is more competitive than I am. |

My dog was really dragging today. He kept wanting to stop, so we took a little longer than usual. But we got it in and I felt pretty good. I think tomorrow I'll give him a break and just take him for a long walk and then I'll get my run in. I think it will be good for me to run without him as well.
It really is amazing how many people run in the morning. I'd be willing to bet that I run by some people on this site every morning. |

| 10 mile run up and down Millcreek Canyon with MarkP. The uphill miles were pretty tough, but we had a nice run back down. |

| Easy 3.2 mile loop around Highland High. I ran through the first snow of the year. I hate the snow. I don't mind rain. But I hate the snow. I'll get used to it. |

| 4.26 mile loop with the dog from the house past the high school and the Park. It is getting crisp out there. I am feeling good. One more week and I'll be done with my 3 mile runs. I feel like I am building a good base and I hope I can keep it up all winter. I miss doing speed work and tempo runs, but I should be ready for those in the Spring. |
