Local Elite

Running Accomplishments:

Marathon PR: 2:45, St. George 2007

Half-marathon PR: 1:21, Moab 2007

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.

I totally biffed it while running today. stuck to canal roads and grass to save the ol' knees and didn't see a big ol' root or stem of something sticking out. but on the upshot, my run was mostly all quite soft.

ps- i went skiing in hip-deep powder again this morning. i love my life

ahhhh, 3 miles at 6:15 (warm up easy and warm up at 6:30 to gear up for it). felt good. hardly breathed at all. would've done more but i'm planning on a little 5-miler in st george so i held back the amount of hard miles today.

easy pm run.

I liked this race. small, scenic, nice weather. nice guys even. i started out with this pack of a few guys and a mile or 1.5 into it or so was blocking wind for them. i said something about it and 'chivalry'--joking w/ them and one took the wind for me for a while. i thanked him (but was really going nuts because i hate running behind people). he was running a titch slower than i was, however, and another guy passed so i went with him. he surged after a while and got a short way ahead of me, but i caught him and beat them all.

incidentally, a fastrunningblog guy also won. but he had a jersey. i should have a jersey too. (hint  hint anyone?)

 

5 miles isn't enough (oh, and a bit warm up and then after i ran back to my sister and my dad).

so, i'm going running again.
