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)

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
4.00	1.00	5.00

Well its been a long time.

Today was a good day for my running. I have a renewed spirit and now have a goal. I signed up for the RRRC Advanced 10k Training Team which starts next weekend. I have several goals for the race. Goal 1 is to beat my age. Im 41 and think it would be cool to run sub 41. Goal 2 = Sub 40 minutes. With a concentrated speed effort.. I feel that is totally within reach. Now its time to make it happen.

Tonights workout was 2 warm up / 1 hard / 2 cool down

8:42 / 8:40 / 6:37 / 9:15 / 8:51

I felt great the entire time.. could have slammed the hard mile much harder but hey.. its been a long time since ive truly put the hammer down. True speed isn't built over night.

Friday is a rest day and Saturday is LSD.. will prob put in 9-10 at a super super slow pace.

WELCOME BACK to the blog world and welcome back as an inspired runner.

Very impressive hard pace.

Here's your quote for the day:

“There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.”
