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 have a friend that want to run this Turkey Tri 5k faster than he has run it in the last 3 years, so he keeps asking me to run it with him.  Sasha's advice keeps echo'g in my mind.  Phil' best time I think he said was 8:25 pace.  The other day he ran with me, and stayed with me for about a half mile at 7:20 pace.  He seems fast enough, but like Sasha says, he just doesn't have endurance.  It showed again tonight, faded big with every mile. 

So, I was thinking, how much faster does the average runner run a race if they only run the same speed/distance for training?  I run 3 miles everyday, 10 minute pace.  How much faster might I run a 3 mile race?  Some logic tells me no difference.  But I know I run races faster than training.

Hummmmm.  Oh well.  Good miles for me.  This will probably be my longest run this week.  Hopefully not my last this week.

 

Total:

1:18:41/8:01 pace

With Phil:

26:22/8:23 pace

Just me:

52:19/7:51 pace
