Short-Term Running Goals:

I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that. I have a half and full marathon that I am planning on racing in a few months. I hope to be trained well enough to PR in both, but if not...I will enjoy the ride.

Under 1:30 half

3:15 marathon

Met the BBK's this morning at Bingham Track. We warmed up for 3 miles off the track and 1 mile on AP 9:10. The speed consisted of a 5k broken up 400, 800, 3x1000 (all with 200 recoveries and they were SLOW recoveries around 10:00+ pace) then a 2 mile tempo off track. We came back to the track and we were supposed to do another 400 and 200 to finish off the 5k but I needed to cooldown and didn't have time to do both so I finished and hurried home. AP for the speed (with recoveries and cooldown) 8:05.

1-7:33, 2-7:34, 3-7:49, 4-8:31, 5-8:01, 6-8:54 (included cooldown)

All in all I felt pretty good today but I definitely could feel my race from Friday. Heavy legs, heavy breathing. Someday, hopefully soon, I'll get back to normal.

Did core work, back and biceps and some good stretching.
