Short-Term Running Goals:

to continue to improve.  Would love to get the elusive BQ.  Ive been a consistent runner since 2006 but I truly didn't take training seriously until the fall of 2010.  Before that.. I pretty much relied on my athletic ability to just get me to the finish line of events.  Still truly haven't figured out the marathon distance.  Currently just spending time awaiting for my marathon training to begin in June.  Aiming for a strong fall Marathon PR.  We will see.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Have to finish NYC, Boston, Pikes Peak & Chicago.  After that would love a shot at Commrades and possibly a 100 miler.  Who wouldn't want a belt buckle.

Personal:

Married with two kids (9 & 5)

Marathon Maniac #2635  woo hoo!!

Opening day for the RRRC Advanced 10k Training Team

I was assigned to Team Lilac (41 minutes and below target goal)  I mean really.. Team Lilac??  This is the fastest group they have and they name us that??  Oh well.. what you going to do.. just hope an unnamed MTT coach never finds out that 3 of his guys (Crash, Monolo & Stephon) are running for Team Lilac :-)  However.. we represented our true color well with our matching badass All Black Skull and Cross Boned Nike tops.  Hopefully this time next year I wont being wearing Lilac.  If I am.. shoot me and take my man card away.

So the coaches say this 6.3 run was supposed to be a nice and easy run with no tempo section.  Yeah right.. our opening day easy run turned into more of a slong measuring contest than anything.  Unless these guys are capable of running sub 35 minute 10k's then they all ran too fast.  Miles 1 and 2 were somewhere in the low 7's.  from there I pulled back and ran 7:35's for the final 4.3.  Got to see Peter, Scott, Ruthie, Matt, Richard, Brad all running the opposite way on Grove.  They were like.. what the heck?  Im sure Peter filled them in.

I was the last one to finish for team Lilac but I know better.. you don't go balls to the wall on day one.  Thats just dumb!!  Run smart and beat them further down the road.  Anyways.. a good solid effort for me.  Many more to come.

This blog post seems to imply that you have a man card to lose ... I question that.

... nice run, glad you're focused on the 10k goal, not the measuring contest.
