Short-Term Running Goals:

In the next couple years I would like to focus on the Marathon. My goal is to hit the Olympic "A" Standard in the next 2 years. I would also like to place at a USA marathon championship in the top 10. I have a long way to go, but I have a long time to get there.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Running in the Olympics would have to be my long time running goal. That would be awesome.

Personal:

I married Meagan in March 2005. We don't have any kids yet. Both Meagan and I ran at the University of Utah, and then we transferred to Utah State in Fall 2005 because the U of U dropped their Men's Track and Field program.

I woke up and ran an hour this morning. I was a little sore to start, but I began feeling much better after a mile or so. Then I ran 90 minutes this afternoon. That was hot. 95 degrees feels like the olympic marathon in China ;)

I went running this morning up on the bonneville shoreline trail above the university of Utah for 90 minutes. It felt great. Tonight I am going to sugarhouse to train with Demetrio's running group. That ought to be a blast. The Legs are feeling better and better. Yeah. I went to run with Tyler and Demetrio's group. It was nice to see the wide range of runners who were there. Demetrio gave me some good tips on marathon running. I ended up just doing some 400s and stopped when I felt too tired. I am excited for TCM and for the marathons further in the future.

I ran in the afternoon through SLC. I ran on the highest roads along the east bench. Some of those had pretty good hills. My legs are feeling better and better when I run, but I feel tired from increasing the mileage right now.
