Recent races: St. George Marathon, Olympic Trials Marathon, Moab 5 miler. 

Short-Term Running Goals:

I want to run faster. I'd like to win a race or two. I want to smarter and harder and increase my mileage without increasing my injuries. 

I'd also like to keep up with this and my other blog. You can check it out at novicexpert.blogspot.com. I don't keep track of my workouts there (just random thoughts on running), so the two don't really interfere.  

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to win at least one marathon, make a better showing at the next Olympic Trials, try a few ultra-marathons and finish a 100-miler.

Personal:

I lead a simple life. I teach a couple of times a week and run. A lot. I also climb and ski (both snow and water) whenever I get a chance.  I think I'm addicted to sunshine.

so the reason i didn't post for a hwile was that my knees were bugging. see, i was runing without my contacts the other morning and tripped and thudded on the concrete (was running on the grass but crossed the rd and was heading up the sidewalk to the grass just beyond...yeah. landed smack on my knees i think. my hands got bruised and cut too but my poor knees.)  anywho, my left knee's been unhappy since. so i've cut the miles a smidge and broken my runs up. today's has been the longest (14 all at once)...yesterday's was the 2nd longest. didn't bug until the last couple, which  means ran more than 10 without it being ornery (is that how ya spell it? dunno). anywho, bought new shoes yesterday so i'm sure that helps. mr ossine feels bad for me, i think and didn't charge the taxes...an extra few boxes off.  i keep telling him he should sponsor me but he just kinda laughs at me and gives me free socks or a few bucks off. 

 

went on a 4.5 mile walk this evening w/ my roommate's dog. good pace. the dog did well. she's kinda old. my roommate was shocked when i told her.  sage had already gone running w/ her for 45 min and was dead then.  that explains why she never pulled on the leash. but she stayed up w/ me pretty well.

I was wondering yesterday where you were. Hope your knees are ok. Who is Mr. Ossine?

By the way, love your entry from yesterday.

my knees are feeling better. old shoe syndrome...

Mr. Ossine is they guy who i buy shoes from (ossines' shoes in west jordan. they're great but not online like st george running cntr. don't want to advertise for them here though cuz st. george running cntr generously supports our blog etc...).

ah yes, that entry (tues?) was one of my fav. posts ever. took a lot of time to come up w/ that, you know. glad you liked it.
