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.

Went to the outdoor track at the fitness center again. Was aiming for some easy miles.

1 - 8:04

2 - 7:58 Some guy passed me pretty fast, at about mile 1.75, he stopped, then passed me again at the same spot about 2.25, then again at 2.75, I'm figuring that he is using me, let me get out there to a certian point then bust a gut to catch me before his rest spot, figure he is doing .5 mile repeats.

3 - 8:06 Rounding first corner after my mile 3, look back accross the field to check on the guy making me feel like I need to do more fast repeats, thinking about speeding up so he has to work really hard to get me. HE IS CUTTING THE FIELD IN HALF. Cutting the corner, what kinda deal is that. Now I think I was just feeling bad that I took the day off yesterday, and was taking it easy today. He probably wasn't doing anything with regards to me. Silly me. But it was fun thinking about making him work hard.

4 - 8:03

5 - 8:07 I wasn't going to run this one, I stoped after 4 and stretched, and while I was strectching I thought I would try a "cool down" mile. As I started back up I ran about 100 yards or so and as I breathed in my gum went shooting down my throat, but only it didn't go down. COUGH, COUGH, COUGH and out it shoots. Dang gum.

Careful! Note to self: Dont inhale! lol Your morning sounds amazing!! You got a good workout, had a great laugh, and preformed the heimlich on yourself, all while maintaining an 8:04 pace. Way to go!

Didn't think about that, funny, "Heimlich". That whole thing will teach me, I was relaxed and being casual about that last mile. When I'm being more serious, I take care of things, like gum in my mouth, but when I am just being easy going, I can't walk and chew gum at the same time let alone run and chew.

That'll teach you to go the extra mile!

I still can not believe what you call EASY miles. You are high on something---speedy demon fumes or something!

Glad you had some guilt over the day off, though! No more days off!

HEY----my neighbor did not get my shirt finished and had some kind of emergency today with her son. SO, no shirt for me for the race! DANG IT! Next time. I guess you will just have to watch for the "woman in black" should she happen to pass you!!

Good luck tomorrow, here is to a PR, I CAN FEEL IT FOR YOU!

From jona on Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 11:57:20

LOL! Kelli: "Glad you had some guilt over the day off, though! No more days off!"

I took today off. The bed got the better of me. I guess that is a good thing about this blog, now I feel guilty.

From Kelli on Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 12:34:51

Well, I have been running up and down the 2 sets of stairs while I clean, blog, clean, blog, clean, blog. That should count for something! And, now I am off to mop and vacuum---that is cardio!

Actually, we just decided that since the weather is so nice, we may go run this afternoon! You watch my blog---it may happen!

From jona on Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 12:48:04

I'm not going to be out done. I will get a run in sometime today!!!!

Run to the corner store for a drink, run to get lunch, run to pickup my race packet. LOTS of running!

From Kelli on Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 13:42:19

I did both sets of stairs 22 times. I counted. I still have to vacuum, but I have also mopped! BEAT THAT! And, i am still in my running clothes, so ya never know (although I will puke honey nut cheerios if I try any time in the next few hours).

Now, running, in my car, to get my bib.

From Sunnyrun on Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 18:24:56

I think we should be able to count all the additional "running" we do. And hey Kelli, I'll help you add miles to your blog by having you clean my house too. lol Its in bad shape and you sound like a wonder women. Have fun tomorrow :)
