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!!

5 @ recovery

Here is tonights scenario :

Lane 1 = High School field hockey chick doing 8:00 minute miles flailing her arms like Pheobe from Friends.

Lane 5 = Myself trying to maintain proper form while as running as slow as possible.

Lane 6 = High School soccer dude doing 3x 400 repeats with what seemed to be 15 minute recoveries.

I aint gonna lie.  I took every fiber of my being to not put the hammer down.  Seriously soccer dude??  Maybe im getting ornery in my old age but did he really have to do all 3 of his repeats in lane 6?  Anyways.. I stuck to plan and performed workout as planned.

5.41 miles @ 9:52 pace (9:39, 9:47, 9:57, 9:57, 9:56)

This weeks schedule looks like this :

Mon - 5 @ recovery

Tues - 7 miles (start at the slow end of easy and drop it down every mile till the last mile is at the faster end of easy)

Wed - 5 @ recovery

Thur - 8 miles (2 miles slow easy - then 5 miles at the fast end of easy - then 1 mile recovery  (For me this workout will be replaced by coaching of the HMT hills 5x Sorrento prob with some added mileage afterwards

Fri - Off

Sat - 12 TOF

Sun - 6

Miles for week = 41-43'ish depending on how many I do on Thursday

I admire your discipline.

Next time smack soccer dude upside his noggin - it'll help with his headers.

lol. a smack it is.

Yep. I kept thinking to myself.. it is totally silly for me to do my recoveries on the track but I guess staying upright on the smooth lighted surface trumps my night time clumsiness on the roads. I also kept thinking "my sport is your sports punishment" as well :-)
