Ten months without a post and this blog had cobwebs all over. My last post was in August of last year being excited about a 10 mile week. Unfortunately shortly after that I ran in a 5k race and completely stopped running....until July4th. My dad and I decided the night before at about 10pm that we were going to do the 4th of July 5k. We had talked about it on and off for a couple months but never signed up and never knew for sure if we were going to do it so I didn't do anything to prepare. It took me 27:00 minutes! Jordan, on his mission, found out and said this, "I"m kind of surprised you didn't do better." I'm glad he said it because it was that comment that has motivated me to run 10 miles a week ever since. I think I've ran about 100 miles since the 4th of July and just ran in another 5k yesterday. I broke my previous PR by 15 seconds (which was done on a treadmill....much easier) and had plenty of energy left over. I'm signed up for another 5k in 4 weeks and will be pretty disappointed if I'm not under 24min.
So, if anyone is looking for motivation to get on the ball let me know and I'll send you Jordan's e-mail address. All you have to do is let him know what you're currently doing and he'll make sure to let you know he's surprised you're not doing better!

I'm glad that you posted on this thing, Justin! Way to motivate us all. All I have done exercising the past couple of weeks is walking about 40 minutes a day. I definitely could do better! :)
