Would like to BQ - need to shave 23 minutes off PR.

 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running.

When I started running my wish that turned into a goal was to qualify for Boston. Just so I could say "I qualified for Boston."

AFTER BQ, I think I will do some Tri events.  For sure some Half Ironman events, and see where that takes me.

I was only going to run 5 miles, then while was out a friend who has been talking about going out for a run called me. He has been talking about going out for awhile, I have been telling him to call me and I would go with him, so when he called I couldn't say no. So I finished up my 5, then went to my sons baseball game, then home and ran another 3 with Troy.

I'm having a hard time breaking the 8 min pace. Troy is just starting so I let him set the pace, so those three were slow slow paced. But my first 5 I had were right at 8 min per mile.

Good run, but had a couple stops.  Ran up around the old WordPerfect Buildings.  There is a sign of age, and how long I've been in this area.  Another sign of age (I wish it wasn't so)  I had to go to the bathroom.  HATE when that happens.  Oh well.  Ok run.

Phew.  Got some sort of running in before one of the boys baseball games.

 

Bummer, I didn't draw out for StG.  I guess a little re-plan is in store.  Bummer.

Went running before my sons baseball game.  It was in AF, and I had no idea where to go, or how far I actually ran.  Oh well, I'll count it as 4.5 and just feel good I got some running in.

Ran up Main to 2000 N, then up 2000 N to Cascade, down Cascade then over to Harmons then 400 N. then over to Main then Home.

The hill was HARD. Had just under 9 min mile (8:40ish) going up the hill, made me tired. It was hard to make up the slow time to get down under 8 min miles on the rest run. But it was nice to get some hill in the run. I did take about 1 min to stretch around mile 3.5.

Did get to start until 2 or so, then it was very hot.  Ran up the canyon, but felt very hot so I called it good.

Didn't get out until 8:30.  The weather was yuck.  Very dusty out there.  Made for hard breathing.

Ran three with my daughter, she helped me keep it slow.  Last Thurs night I strained my hamstring playing soccer.  So keep it slow for now and see how it goes.  Dropped off Kait and went three more, first three were 10:30 pace and the last three were 8:05 pace.

Went up Provo canyon, one of my friends wanted to run the 10k route that is coming up this weekend. Started at Mt Timpanogos Park up to Bridal Veil Falls then back. I did a couple run aheads then back to the small group.

Hamstring hurts while running, but feels better through the day.

Oh, funny thing.  Ok, not so funny for Josse, but it kinda made me chuckle.  I was running back and all of a sudden I had blurry vision on the lower half of my eye sight.  First thing that came to my mind was that darn blog I read.  "Oh no, what were they saying?  I don't remember."  "Oh no, I'm either on my death bed or I'm going to have an incredible good run."  30 seconds later: "Phew, I'm not on my death bed, its just a drop of water from the rain."  "DANG, this means I won't have an incredible run either."  Well, it was fun there for a few seconds.  Fun to remember the blog and think about all the amazing people I read about.  All from silly little drop of watter invading my eye sight.

Ran 3 while trying to watch my sons baseball game.  That wasn't working out, so I called it good with the 3 and watched the game.

After the game I ran a couple of the kids home and went out for 4 more miles.  So about a 2 hour split for the two runs.

Got some miles in.  Yeah.

Ran WordPerfect 6, hamstring hurt bigtime about mile 4.5 on.  I had to walk for a couple minutes.  I'm wondering if I am in need of a Chiro adjustment or if I have a strained hamstring.  The pain isn't always like a muscle pain, its almost like nerve pain, but then there is muscle pain other times.  I don't know.
