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.
