Short-Term Running Goals:

Get fit again! Casper Marathon on June 8th in Casper, Wyoming. I don't have a specific goal time for it, as I don't know the course real well, but I'd like to shoot for 6 minute pace.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run for your life! Stay active enough to eat seconds and ice cream without guilt.

Personal:

Married to a beautiful wife AnnMarie, who is also a 3:15 marathoner and the mother of our handsome 2 year old, Myles and newbie Sullivan. Sullivant was born 2 years and one day after Myles was born. Myles knows only one speed--running all out. Kinda like Prefontaine.  Besides running, I enjoy reading, woodworking, fishing, and chasing Myles around our house.

Got a good night's sleep, but felt sluggish and beat down the entire run. Not sure why, it was fairly cool, overcast (or was that all the smoke from the fires?), and I didn't go particularly hilly. Yesterday was an easy run, so...anyhow, it's in the books and that's the important part. Running in the evening is tough to make work, but I'm going to try again tonight to get an easy hour in, and call that my long run for the week. I think we're going to do the xTerra Trail race at Snowbird this Saturday, I love running the trails and it will be fun for both AnnMarie and I to go.

 

P.M.  Made it out the door at about 9:45 p.m. and figured I had time and energy for about 30-40 minutes.  Went down 450 east to 2600 north, east on 2600 to Mtn Road, cut NW on the canal, dodged a few cats, and worked my way home. 35 minutes on the dot, showered and zonked out. Call it 5 miles.

Sluggish is not always bad. Unable to hold a fast pace is bad, and at least for me there is a poor correlation between the two.
