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.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Under 1:30 half

3:15 marathon

My daughter started Middle School this morning so I needed to be home to see her off so no road running for me this morning. Besides, I wanted to do some weights at the gym. Ran on treadmill at 8:58 pace for 7 miles and ran last mile at 8:00 pace. It was a nice recovery run and I felt like I could've gone forever. It is nice to know after pushing so hard in a race 2 days ago that my body could just keep going. My back muscles were a bit sore yesterday and so were the tops of my quads but other than that I felt really good.

Oh, did shoulders/tris/abs at gym also.

I do not know how you guys do that on the treadmill! Great job as always!

And my ankle will not set me back much more than a few days---I will just ignore it and run (then cry when I get home and no one can see me!)

BTW---I think your long term running goals are 100% doable. And they are probably just a year out! You are a machine.

I think maybe the half marathon under 1:30 is doable but I don't know about SG next year under 3:15. We will see. I hope your okay and remember that less is more when it comes to injuries. I learned that the hard way after Salt Lake with a torn hammy.
