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')

Was supposed to do speed work today.  That darn bed held me to long.  I tried once to get out but the bed arms were toooooo strong..  So, with a late start I opted for a basic run and tried to push the pace.  I was successful for 2 miles.  I went slower for the first half of the next two miles and kicked it for the second half, but the slow made the second half splits look SLOW.

Splits: 7:47, 6:56, 6:52, 7:15, 7:11, 7:52

I probably need to concentrate on my warm up and slow down.  OK, I have already gone over that, I DO need to slow it up a bit.  I just SOOOOOO focused in on the overall average pace, so much so that even right now I'm a worried I was tooo slow because all I see is 7:20.  The pace for the middle 4 miles was 7:04, that maybe what I should be focused on.

Time: 44:18
Avg Pace: 7:20 min/mi

Best Pace: 5:32 min/mi

 

Have a great day!

Darn bed arms! :-D NICE BRPP (basic run pushing pace)! :) You're so funny! Very nice effort on pushing the middle miles. Seriously, I used to worry about the average pace too. I have to remind myself of the purpose of each run and to make sure that I do an adequate warm up slowly and gradually. GOOD JOB getting your run in. Did you get some new shoes?

Thanks Smooth, Nope, no new shoes yet. I think I need to see if Wasatch Running Center has the ones I like.
