Masters USATF Cross Country National Championships 8k in St. Louis, MO!
Maybe a marathon in 2013?
Long-Term Running Goals:
Enjoy running and racing at whatever level I am able to. Possibly run another marathon post Microfracture Surgery in under 3:00.
Personal:
I'm in the Army. I am married with four children (20/17/13/8 years old). Trying to return to previous running form after having microfracture knee surgery in July 2008.
2.5 miles with last 2 miles pacing students during the 2 mile run of a practice PT test on the track. Paced the faster runners to a 12:29 two mile. Knee kills but pain is only weakness leaving the body! also did 150 push-ups and 100 sit-ups.
2 easy miles and 200 push-ups and 200 sit-ups. Also played some ultimate frisbee which probably was not the smartest idea with the knee but I am tired of not having fun. So I had fun and the knee hurt but survived.
Ran with cadets again. Easy mile warm-up and then paced them during track workout followed by an easy mile cool down. Ont he track I ran 6x 400s in about 1:25 each and 1x800 in 2:50. Still have knee pain but I ran without the brace today and the knee pain seemed a bit less than normal. So no miracle healing yet but I am still not counting it out yet as the surgery is not until July 10th so there is still time for a miracle. Also did about 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups. I am getting in pretty good shape upper body wise at least.
