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.

it hasn't stopped snowing all day. my eyelashes didn't have snowflakes on them but balls of ice caked, stringing across them. my eyebrows were those of a withering old man, white and larger than my dry eyebrows. one thing is fortunate, however, my hands were lovely and warm. somebody (allie?) had mentioned cold hands last weekend and loads of people have given advice on which gloves or mittens are the best. perhaps i live in a warm place compared to allie (don't remember where she was from. sorry), but my hands prefer not to have gloves on them.

haha. i don't think logan can be considered warm compared to other places in utah. i think your no glove method might actually be one of the best ideas, as a lot of people mentioned that gloves make their hands sweat and then the moisture is what makes their hands cold. i am going to try your sleeve technique and see how that works out.
