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

4 out from work down to JRP and south and back. Started really sluggish...legs were tight and heavy, felt better around mile 3 and got into a rhythm. My miles were meant to be comfortable today. 9:26, 9:29, 9:21,9:10, 9:00,8:40, 8:51,8:56 - AP 9:07

I needed this slower paced day. I've been trying to prove to myself that I can run fast and keep forgetting that recovery is soooo important and that I  am just base building right now.

Ran from work down 9800 S. to JRP. Mile 1 & 2 warm-up 8:56, 9:03. Did 4 - 800 repeats with 400 recovery. I kept all 4 around 7:30 pace. Recovery for about 1.75. AP 8:29...definitely need to do some speedwork. My legs forget how to move fast.

PM - Did some plyometrics, band resistance, and abs in the evening. My legs were dead at the end. Stretched really good and rolled them out.

What a weird morning! I knew it would be a little chilly so I wore a long sleeve and threw my gloves on at the last second. Ran from work down to JRP and headed south. Felt fantastic and was just keeping a nice comfortable pace to let the legs recover. Got to the 4 mile point and turned around and realized how windy it was from the north. And then...what the heck, SNOW!!! I didn't expect that and wasn't dressed accordingly. 2.75ish heading north in snow that was pelting me in the face:( The last 1.25 wasn't so bad because it is east so at least I could see out of my right eyeball!

Saw a fox on the trail this morning and lots of very protective ducks.

AP 9:18 and it felt very comfortable and nice the whole time!

Legs were way sore from the plymotrics the other night. I'm glad I didn't do more than I did or I would've been really hating it! Thought I would be smart and only run 4 on the treadmill at work and then do some core work and stretch. Started my first mile and decided that I wanted to go outside...so I did. Headed up 9800 S. to Redwood and back. Legs were a bit sore on the uphill, but felt great on the down. First TM mile warm-up was 9:40 and I didn't wear my Garmin outside. Uphill was probably aroung 9:15-9:30ish, but the rest probably low 8's.
