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')

"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".

Technology! Got to love it, got to hate it! Great miles there! Nice pace too. What marathon are you running? Did I ask you this already? My brain is fried! Toasted cheese fries with bacon! I need to change the music I am listening too. Il Divo is putting me to sleep! Beautiful, but nighty night!

Marion, I'm not in a marathon. There is a chance I could be a sub in SGM, so I need to be ready to get in the game if I get called on.

ah ha!! Good job!

From Kelli on Sat, Sep 20, 2008 at 18:18:08

GREAT JOB!!!! Woo-hoo for you!

From Sunnyrun on Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 18:24:17

Is there a chance you might make the SGM? Keep me posted, and keep running those super fast miles!!

From jona on Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 18:48:30

There is a chance, wait and see. I view my chance as a chance to keep in good shape, have a good kick start to next running season. If I don't make it in, I may try for a marathon late this calendar year. I may come down to SGM just because this year.
