Beyond:
- Sub 1:20 Half Marathon; 2016 Crown King Scramble 50K in the 5 hour range Long-Term Running Goals: My long term running goals are still evolving. I've begun running and racing more consistently in 2015 and have seen some immediate success. I have a few solidified goals for myself over the next ~year and once I tackle those, I'll take time to evalute what my long term desires are.
What I do know is that my long term plan will include a lot of trail running (I love getting off road!) and likely less focus on road racing. That said, I do appreciate returning to the roads to test my fitness and see what kind of times I can run for the traditional distances (5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon), so I will still pull out the racing flats from time to time. Personal: My personal motto is "Connect, Encourage, Pursue & Achieve". I try to live life that way. Connected to those around me, being an encouraging force (and also appreciating when I am encouraged by others), continually pursuing my goals and dreams and achieving at a high level.
I have 3 kids (all boys, so the decible level at my house is pretty much unbearable!). They're awesome little dudes and keep me on my toes!!
I work a full time job as a contracts negotiation specialist (Finance background), which is demanding and rewarding all at the same time.
Things I like: chromed out valve stem caps; giving people hi-5's; bourbon & bbq; brunch on Sundays somewhere with a dj; sour patch kids. Yeah, there's more, but you're probably getting tired of reading this crap now... ha! |
