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')

Went to the fitness center.  I'm looking forward to clear roads so I can run outside.  

Last night I was thinking that I need to start pushing my pace towards 7 min miles.  Thought I would try to get to 7 on one mile today and see how it goes.  So mile 2 was the mile I tried on.  Didn't make it.  I'll have to keep working on it.

Mile breakdown (7:44, 7:17, 7:26, 7:42, 7:26), .5 cool down jog/walk.

37:37/7:32 pace

Ran in the fitness center again.  Tried to get my second mile down to 7:00 minute pace.   Today I concentrated on getting the pace the whole mile.  As I thought about the run the other day I realized that I had some slower laps that brought my mile speed down.  Today I made sure I kept it going the whole mile.  Stupid mind games!  But I made it.

Laps 8:04, 6:44 (yeah!), 7:37, 7:29, 7:16

37:07/7:26 pace

Ran at the fitness center again.  Got a mile into the run and had to go potty.  DANG no, STINK.  I was already late so I took my "break" and then went back and ran two more miles.  Ughh!  Oh well good to get out 3 times during the week.

3 miles running, .5 cooldown.

22:47/ 7:36 pace

 

PS, wanted to share a quote:

 

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

by Marianne Williamson

Went to the Jordan River Parkway with Kelly and her Friend Wendy.  They rode their bikes while I ran.

Had an "Animal Planet" run.   about 3.75 miles into the run I came across a Red Tail Fox that got stuck in the fence.  She was ready to chew her foot off to get out.  I called animal control and wait to see if could get her out.  Looked like she died for a minute or so.  But after they got her out of the fence she laid there for an minute and then woke up and ran off into the field.  I sure hope she lives.

Saving the fox took so long I had to cut the run short.
