Short-Term Running Goals:

Stay healthy!

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')

I got a late start, hit the trail head about 7:15.  Ran up Provo Canyon, had a faster than normal pace going up.  I knew I had limited time.  I had to get home and get my son ready for football.  I wanted to get 8 in before I had to take him to his game, so I pushed the pace going up, and was hoping that I could equal that going back down.  The wind sucked going up!  Wow.  I hate when you feel like your loosing ground.

Finished my 8 just in time to get Brady to his football game, then took of from the parking lot for 4 more miles.  That was tough.  There was about 30-40 minutes between runs, and I did push the pace up and down the canyon, my knees felt like they were pounded on.  The route for the 4 mile was basically the coarse (NOT flat) that is used for the Turkey Tri in Nov with enough added on to make it 4. 

So, the breakdown:

.5 : 4:03

.5 - 1.5 : 7:41

1.5 - 4 : 19:40 (7:52 pace)

4 - 6.5 : 17:22 (6:57 pace)

6.5 - 7.5 : 7:18

7.5 - 8 : 3:50

59:54/7:29 pace

Next run

4/32:00 8 min pace (was tired and it showed. Like last week)

Way to go! Got your run in and your son to football!! 7:29 is FAST!

How did I ever beat you?

Good job, sorry about the knees. Mine hurt while i run and then for a few hours after, but then it goes away pretty much. Does your pain stay or is it just while running?

See you tomorrow. I will not be chicking you---I am just barely warming up at 6 miles. And that is a true story. This is why I have never run a short distance race---I just do not "feel it" until much later!

From jona on Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 15:39:48

You beat me because I am not in a distance type shape. I need to get more long runs in. My week day runs are 3-5 miles and my "long" runs on weekends have only been 7-9 miles. I'm going to change that. Hobble creek was my first "longer" run, I will get 13,14 this next Sat.

The pain was just at the end of the first run yesterday and a little for a couple hours after. I think that it is temporary. The longer runs I will start to get in will condition those joints.

I'm sure your just "sandbagging" me on the short race thing.

From Kelli on Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 15:47:26

I am not, I promise! I think the fastest I have ever done 6 miles is like 51 minutes. And, you have to add another .2 to that. And, I have no pressure on this one. I have never done a 10k before, so no matter how I do it will be a PR for me!

I hope all is well with the knee for the rest of your running week. I think distance running is overrated! It hurts and it takes up so much of my busy day. I am looking forward to the weekend of October 10th---when I no longer have to do any kind of long run!

From jona on Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 15:57:08

Ah, long runs, a necessary evil.

Do you know anything about this 10k? Hills, flat....?

From Kelli on Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 16:02:42

I don't. I think she said it was pretty flat. I am just hoping to not get lost on the route. It worries me when a race is so small that I will not have enough people to follow.

From jona on Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 16:05:04

I'm sure there will be plenty of people to follow. I'm lucky, because I will get to follow the speedsters, Michelle, Scott, you....
