Running Accomplishments:

I once ran a 5M race at 7:28 pace. That was 15 years ago.


Starting September 2010 my PRs are:

3M: 26:38 25:44

5K: 27:43 26:33

1/2 Marathon: 2:22:19

10M: 1:56:40 1:44:41

15M: 3:03:24 2:53:42



Short-Term Running Goals:

I'd like to be able to run long distances 10+ miles at under a 10:00 pace.

I'd like to run short distances at an 8:00 pace.

I'd like to convince my dog to run at my pace, not his.

Update 10.13.10:

As I have begun to run consistently these last three months and am really enjoying the process & progress, I'll set these goals:

5K: <25:00

1/2 Marathon: <2:00:00

Long-Term Running Goals:

Marathon: <4:00:00

I planned to have an easy run around the Presidio and perhaps explore some trails, but with all the consturction on Doyle Drive and other projects, this was hard. Tried to find a trail through the golf course that I saw on Google Maps. No luck. Made some golfers angry, I think. What a huge suck of natural and economic resources that sport is! In the end, I ran up and down more hills than I wanted to. I'm sore now.

Burt,

I can't say I hate golf in the sense that I think it is a lousy game. I have played it a couple of times and I think I see the appeal. I just think it is such a waste of resources. You have what is essentially a very large, manicured park, yet only one group of people, can use it. In the case of most of the courses in San Francisco, it is public land. At the least, they should redesign courses so that more people could enjoy the benefits of that land.

And this does not address the issue of creating and maintaining huge expanses of lawns in the middle of the desert!

Well, those are some good points. And more fuel to add to my fire that burns with a hatred of passion. LOL!

Pouring gasoline on the fire.. Oh well, they'll have to take it. I'm pretty sure they don't care!
