Running Accomplishments:

I have lost 90 pounds. This more than any thing else is my greatest accomplishment. After my collegiate running career I sadly stopped running and kept eating all the way to 265 pounds. After a lot of soul-searching and even more running I am now 175, the same weight I was in college.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Keep running. I simply run for greater health. I enjoy the struggle for self improvement.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to amass enough race t-shirts to make blankets for every bed in the house, as well as finally run a marathon. (Oct 15th SoJo Marathon)

Wow my calves are sore this morning. I really need to work on my form after this marathon and fix some things.

I wanted a nice slow run but I still wanted to do it over some hills. I ran east toward the mountains and back. I am still sore but it was a very nice run.

It may not be form...it may just be all these crazy miles you're putting in! :) Take care of them, peak week is coming soon!!

I'm sure the higher millage is part of it. I have had an over pronounced push-off. I really need to lift my knees higher. I have had the problem ever since running in Jr High. I fixed it in College. But, it came back when I started running again. I know what I need to do to fix it, the problem is it will take me 2-3 months of cross training and drill work. I am just not ready to put my running aside for that long at the moment. I am just having too much fun:)
