To get my mile time in the low 5 minutes. 

To become a top JV runner for Pine View.

To get on varsity for Pine View.

To get my 800m time under 2:15. 

Long-Term Running Goals:

-Run a marathon in Japan

-Run a marathon at age 80

-Run across some countries (The Vatican, San Marino, Andorra, Liechtenstien)  

-Run from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean (through the Panama Canal)

-Run an IRONMAN

-Keep running 5k's until they put me in a wheel chair or asylum or something... (hopefully around age 90 or so haha) 

-Run an Ultra Marathon 100+ mile race 

Personal:

I run XC for Pine View High School. In America. Besides running I play guitar, cello, and piano. I also love backpacking, hiking, camping, and biking.

No, I am not married. I don't have any kids either. I still don't get why this website has a personal facts section. The only use would be to creep on people's personal lives...   (I thought that's what Facebook is for)

So its been a great many weeks since I last ran... Today I ran 5 miles. Haha I really have no idea how I managed to keep going and not stop. I'm so sore and tight.... Eh no more breaks for me. It was a good run though. Not too excited to get back into school... Track should be decently fun when it finally rolls around :)

Had to practice for the Jr. Prom song after school so I was a bit late. When I got out there everyone had already left so I decided to run to Starbucks and back. About 1 3/4 miles into the run I caught up to Susan and Erin. Hahaha as soon as I caught up to them Susan turned around and screamed then Erin screamed. Hahaha it was pretty funny. Overall a pretty good run.

Shnobki. Or however you spell it.. It was a nice and rainy/cloudy day today. It was kinda cold, but not too bad when you got running. Getting up the mountain was really tough. When we got back down, it started raining harder. Jason and I took off our shirts and used them to keep our hands warm. Hahah got a lot of funny looks from passing drivers :)

Five miles to Target and back today. It was a pretty decent run. Had to stop at the lou so I fell behind... not much else to say about that...

I started out a bit late today (thanks to a quick visit to the lou) and so I was a bit behind. I was told all the guys were heading up Green Springs so I did my five miles straight up there. After a few miles of not seeing anyone, I realised that everyone must've gone a different way. On my way back when I was passing the gas station I saw all the guys coming down a different road... haha oh well I guess I had a decent run by myself :)

I wasn't feeling all that swell today after school so I didn't go to practice.. But tonight I went on a 6-ish mile run by myself. My Garmin has been having issues since I dropped it so I'm not 100% on the mileage but I'm pretty sure its close to 6. I based it off a 7 mile route I ran during the summer. It was a pretty good run, but I ran kinda slowish... Haha I could be in better shape :/

Today was a good run. It was nice to get all the crap out of my body and run with Matt and Dave again (and two new kids). A good, fast four mile run. Nice to talk about running with people who know what they're talking about again too.

AM: Super cold morning run today.

PM: First track workout of the season today. The first few 200s felt pretty good, but this muscle or something in the back of my left knee started acting up again. It was hurting like this last cross season too.. But I think if I can keep it nice and stretched and iced it should be fine. I really like running with Timmy and all the 800ers haha I just gotta make sure I can keep up hahaha :)

6.5 miles today. I have a real bad cough and I think I'm getting sick so it was kinda hard to push out the mileage. Oh well, I should get feeling better soon. Hopefully getting back into this running business won't be too extremely difficult :)
