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')

Snow and ice on the roads, so went to the fitness center.  Ran one mile warm up and then 4 at about 7:15 - 7:30 pace, then one more cool down mile.

Went to the AF fitness center and got some yuck miles in while Kelly did some training in the pool.  The indoor track there is SMALL!!!  12 laps per mile.  I was getting dizzy.  So after 2 miles I went for the TM.  Ran 1 mile, at about 7:30.  Wanted to push the pace up so I adjusted the speed to 9mph, and the machine freaked out.  The display read "Can't maintain desired speed."  Ughhhh.  So tried again, same message, but then dropped to a speed I think it thought it could maintain  ----- 9mpm ---  Well, I thought there are a couple other TM's around, I'll switch real quick.  NONE of them worked.  As I threw my hands up and started back out to the dizzy track a nice man gave me his TM.  So, back on the TM.  Tried the speed, the display said it was good.  So, try fast again.  Adjusted the speed to 6.39 mpm, was huffing and puffing and I looked at the distance, it was hardly moving.  It moved faster at a slower speed.  Ughhh.  Finished what the machine said was a mile and bailed out to the dizzy track for a cool down mile.

Well, at least I got some miles in.  Yeah.

Have a good day!

Went up to Highland and ran with Kelly and her friends.  I ran out ahead and then back, head then back.  Not a lot of good speed work, but did get miles.

I took the day off work to help Kelly get some thing done at her house. Kelly is out on a bike ride, so I think I will head out for another 2-3 miles. 

Will update later.

 

Later:

Kelly called while she was biking Suncrest, ask if I could pick them up at the top, so I drove to the top of Suncrest and ran down a mile then back up, about the time Kelly and Wendy got to the top.  So did get 2.05 miles more for the day.  Yeah.

Went during lunch and got 3 quick miles in.  Quick because its lunch time, and I don't have a ton of time.  I don't have my splits, but I think the first mile was 7:35, mile 2 was right close to 7 and mile 3 was something close to 7:30.  Total time was 21:54. 

 

Have a great Fri everyone!
