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.

Personal:

Married to Kelly (with a 'Y')

Slept in this morning. (not that that is unusual)  So had to go out tonight.

Ran to the fitness center 2m one way.  Lifted weights and ran home.  Boy is it hard to run after lifting.  When I go out to run, my legs feel like they have all the weight that was just lifted tied to them.

Not bad time.

Night run again.  Ran a route that I knew would give me a good hill.  Hit the hill during the 3rd mile.  Tried to pick up the pace here and there during each mile, not sure it did anything for me, but I did it.  I think when I get serious about this running thing I will try that speed work stuff like run .25 miles 20 times as fast I can with rest in between.

(singing "I want a girl with a short skirt and a looooooooooooooooooooooooong JJJJJJJJJJacket")

Ok, got that out of my system.  When that song comes on I always want to sing that part, but rarely have the breath to streach it out as long as I want to which is longer than the song does.

Got out very late.  9:45.  Ran a new route, I have driven that street, but I didn't realize the steepness of the hill.  But isn't that the way it always goes?  Hills/slopes always seem bigger/steeper when you run them.

Well, I was shooting for at least 6, I started running was about .5 miles from the truck and work called.  Turn around go back to the truck to discover as I was getting out of the truck I grabbed the wrong keys, locked the door, thus my truck keys were in the truck.  Well, need to get to work, so I just ran to the office (1.5 or so).  Worked on the problem, had my son drop some keys off to me, ran back to the truck.  Now I'm well into the work day so I just called it good.

 

Have a great day!

20.000.000.00

"20" - I don't know why, but I feel like I should only report 15.  I had to have my son to football by 7:30, and I am not a morning person, so I opted to put off (again) the big part of my running for the day to later.  I ran 3 miles prior to Brady' game.

1  8:39     1.00 mi     6.9 mph     145 bpm
2  7:58     1.00 mi     7.5 mph     155 bpm
3  7:54     1.00 mi     7.6 mph     160 bpm
4  0:31     0.05 mi     6.1 mph     160 bpm

Then Brady's friends Dad and I have been running our long Sat. runs together, we took off after the game for the long run.  Ran up the canyon again, he was wanting to get 15 in so I was happy that I got the three in earlier.

1     8:44     1.00 mi     6.9 mph     145 bpm
2     8:56     1.00 mi     6.7 mph     157 bpm
3     8:55     1.00 mi     6.7 mph     161 bpm
4     8:56     1.00 mi     6.7 mph     161 bpm
5     8:35     1.00 mi     7.0 mph     163 bpm
6     8:41     1.00 mi     6.9 mph     158 bpm
7     9:38     1.00 mi     6.2 mph     162 bpm
8     8:22     0.95 mi     6.8 mph     156 bpm
9     8:15     1.00 mi     7.3 mph     149 bpm
10     8:22     1.00 mi     7.2 mph     149 bpm
11     8:44     1.00 mi     6.9 mph     154 bpm
12     8:37     1.00 mi     7.0 mph     150 bpm
13     8:36     1.00 mi     7.0 mph     152 bpm
14     8:38     1.00 mi     6.9 mph     153 bpm
15     8:04     1.00 mi     7.4 mph     151 bpm
16     0:06     0.02 mi     9.8 mph     162 bpm

I was disappointed that I saw my watch flash lap 15 right at the end, so I stopped and turned it off.  Then I was looking at it and it read 14.97.  WHAT?  I don't know what happened.  I think MAYBE I hit the lap button on that 8th lap.  I just don't want to fall short on a race.  26.1 miles, and I fall over dead.

Well, got home and was feeling ok, so I thought I would try and get some torturous treadmill miles in.  Only made it 2.

So, total for the day is "20".
