Short-Term Running Goals:

I have decided to follow Sasha's advice in his article "How to Qualify for Boston."  So this winter, I am working on my endurance by running six days a week.  I started by running three miles everyday and as long as I feel like going on Saturday (but never more than 3x my daily distance).  I am slowly trying to build my daily mileage to 10 miles per day.  I hope to get there by early next summer. 

Long-Term Running Goals:

To run until the day I die. To run a marathon under 3 hours. 

Personal:

I am married to my beautiful wife and I have three children.

Today, Stockton and I ran with some of our fellow group members. Today was the longest he has ever run and he did great. There were two other dogs there, so he was in heaven.

We were there with some pretty fast people. We were doing about 8 minute miles once we got going. It was fun to run with my friends.

Slow run on the TM.  It was a tough run today.  I was feeling pretty run down and tired all day long, and it carried over to the run.  I figure I am going to have days (and weeks) like this one.

Another easy run on the treadmill.  I felt okay today, but I had trouble falling asleep last night.  I am sure I will be toast this evening and will get to bed early.

13 x 200s @ 5k pace w/ 1:00 minute recoveries on the treadmill.  I'm looking forward to taking a day off from running tomorrow.  I've had a tough week.

Wow, what a tough run we did yesterday.  We went about 3-4 miles easy.  Then we did 6 x 600.  Then we ran for another mile or so, and then we ran 3 x 1 mile tempos (with some light jogging in between).  I was going to go out this (Sunday) morning and do 6-7 miles, but I'm a little trashed from yesterday, so I thought I better rest.  I'll run next Friday instead. 

I start back to school this week, so I really need to get back on the early morning running train.  Stockton will appreciate that as well, I think.
