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.

I'm home with a couple of sick kids today. So during our afternoon tv break (which involved Finding Nemo), I ran on the TM. I also did some pushups and light barbell curls.

Easy morning run to the park and back. Stockton joined me this morning and was really steady the whole way.

The air sucks. Bad.

Mellow morning run from the house to the park with Stockton. He needed a few more pit stops this morning. And I wasn't going to argue. The air seemed a little bit better today, but its still not great. I hope this storm pushes all this gunk out of here.

16 x 200 on the treadmill @ 5k pace with 30-40 second recoveries. I also did a one and a half mile warmup and cooldown. The pace felt really easy. I hope that I have a faster 5k pace after next weekend.

I'm coming down with a little cold, probably from running in the bad air. I'll have to get lots of sleep tonight. I'll probably take a rest day tomorrow to try to recover from this cold.

A nice 16 mile run up to the top of Emigration and back. It felt good to get out of the bad air.
