Short-Term Running Goals:

Keep the goal of a sub-3:00:00 marathon in the back of my mind, but switch focus to running the Utah Grand Slam marathons next year in preparation for the Squaw Peak 50 in June 2010 when I'm 50. (I reserve the right to change my mind.)

Long-Term Running Goals:

Have fun running, keep fit, and fight middle age spread. Bonus: win/place in my age division in some races.

Personal:

Blessed to be married to Karen for 24 years. We have six children (4 daughters/2 sons) ages 10 to 23.

I ran solo at noon today from my house. I only went 4 miles, but managed to average under 8:00/mi (7:58/mi) for the first time in a while.

My left Achilles is still bothering me a little...no better, no worse. I keep forgetting to treat it regularly because it only starts bothering me a few miles into a run and doesn't bother me after. I guess when it matters enough I'll do something about it. Running hasn't been much of a priority for me recently...and that's okay.

I ran some easy miles through the Orem/Lindon hills with Wayne this morning. Larry said he was coming but we didn't see him until after the run. He said he woke up early, went back to bed, then apparently slept through turning off the alarm.

Wayne and I only averaged about a 9:15 pace. Larry can stop worrying about him slowing us down.
