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')

Ran at the fitness center.  Got a late start so cut the miles back.  Probably ok, new shoes.  Probably better to put low miles once then start going at it.  I hopefully will be able to wear the new shoes for Painters.

3 miles running, .5 cool down.

21:20/7:07 pace.(not including cooldown)

 

Have a wonderful day!

Nothing yet today, have plans for evening run.  I will write more later.  But for now, I'm at work and I put some tunes on and wanted to share this song.  Enjoy!

Ran at the gym with Kelly.  Ok, she rode the bike and lifted while I ran. 

Good run, 6 miles at a good pace, since I was on the treadmil I bumped the incline up.  Started with incline on 1, bounced around to 2, 2.5 for a couple miles.  Mile 4 I did about .5 miles at 5 percent incline and about 7:45 pace.  That was work.  I almost had to step off the side to let the incline go down.

Will add my report later.  I'm hoping for some official times on the web.  I think I was 1:39 something.  

Kelly and drove down, met Kelli & Scott, Marion & Dave, Leslie & Harold, Smooth & Pres. Smooth, and Mary Ann.  We all stayed at a condo, had a great dinner (even jello with CHEESE.)

My lower back was killing me all day Fri, and well into the night.  Felt good to sit or lay in one place, but much of any movement was not fun.  Luckily it was just a numb pain in the morning before the race.  I figured that it was the kind of pain that if I could just get going and get into a rhythm that it would not be noticeable, and it wasn't.

Will write me later.  Congratulations to everyone!  I think everyone did what they wanted to do, finish, under a certian time, go slow......Yeah!  We will have a great year!

From official results:

Place over all: 152

Place age group: 26 out of 57 (this STINKS! I'm disappointed here!)

Chip Time: 1:39:49.0

Pace: 7:37/M
