Felt pretty good today. Calves are sore from the stair running yesterday, I need to work on lower leg strength. Apparently the few calf raises I do every week aren't cutting it. 5.3 miles

 

After dinner 5k loop, couldn't ask for a nicer night

A little under the weather today so I took the day off.

I've been reflecting on my running goals today and what I need to work on. Crazy that 2012 is almost half over. Overall it has been positive, minus the injuries and I feel like I'm learning a lot about myself and the sport.

Right now, I only have one goal and that is to run my first half marathon at the SoJo 1/2 on October 20th. I want to run in the 1:14-1:15 range. 

For the past month I have been dealing with some foot and shin pain. To let it heal, I likely need to take 2 full weeks off running which I am going to start today. Also, I've never stretched and am going to start doing that as well as the little strenghtening exercises that can make a big difference.  

My biggest discovery since getting a HR monitor is that my HR is higher than I had guessed at lower speeds. This leads me to believe that I've never actually built a decent aerobic base, i.e. running slower aerobic miles only for 8+ weeks. Hopefully, slower base miles will keep me injury free before I start the harder stuff towards end of August.  Anyway, to those of you interested in my blog, this is my current training strategy and I'm optimistic that it will pay off and I can get a big jump in fitness then get the speed work going. 

I plan to start the base building on July 1st at 30 miles and to work up to 65 miles by the end of the training cycle. Tips and suggestions are appreciated and welcomed.
