Goal Type:

Boston Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

My first attempt at long distance as an adult.

Kirkuk, Iraq Half Marathon- 1:48:?? forgot seconds.

Short-Term Running Goals:

I will be entering the Eisenhower Marathon in Abilene, KS. This will be my first marathon and I'm pretty ambitious. I want to qualify for Boston.

I want to run 3:05 for Eisenhower, but ultimately want run sub 3:00 by the end of 2011.

Long-Term Running Goals:

As far as long term goals I would like just to stay healthy and injury free....and fast!

Qualify for the Iron Man Tri in Kona and finish in spectacular fashion!

Personal:

I'm currently in the Army and I love that I'm faster than all my Soldiers (who are a lot younger than me). It just seems the older I get the faster I am.

I'm deployed, but I should be back in the states pretty soon.

Being in the Army definitely puts a toll on family and unfortunately I'm divorced, but I have a beautiful daughter who melts my heart.

1.00	6.00	0.00	0.00	7.00

I tried to run at MP (Marathon Pace) but only did it for my first mile. I woke up a lil later, kind of threw off my schedule and was late meeting my running partner.

I felt real groggy this morning from the muscle relaxers last night.But the stubborn soreness from my calves and right knee were gone.

After the run I felt good, but my calves let me know they were still there and didn't approve me pushing the rest of the body.

Total time 43:54.41

Lap 1- 06:54.25, Lap 2- 07:20.42, Lap 3- 07:28.40, Lap 4- 07:13.44, Lap 5- 07:48.09,

Lap 6- 07:08.02. I also did a mile cool down.

Welcome to the blog. We have a handful of bloggers that are in the military. Some of them are actively deployed, and some have recently come home. Good luck!

Burt, thanks for the warm welcome! I'm going head first with this running thing. I found this site, and I was like "why not". I have some buddies who I run with and I told them about the "Blog". What are some ways to get more involved with the site and other members?

I just find that if you comment on other people's blogs, they will comment on yours. Don't be shy. A couple of other features are the Mileage Board and the Race Reports.

Thanks Julie. A little validation every now and then is nice. Usually I get people like Scott Wesseman telling the new people that I'm a stalker! LOL!

Oh, Burt is a stalker...

Go easy tomorrow and don't worry about pace. You've had 2 days in a row where you are trying to hammer out marathon paces. best to take an easy day than have to pop muscle relaxers...

Oh, did I mention Burt? he's GREAT!!!

I run in the mornings and at night I train Soldiers in boxing and jiu jitsu. With a list of injuries sometimes I take the easy way out with pills...lol
