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

Personal:

45 yrs old, married with a son.

Warm day, running continues to feel pretty good. Bumped my short run to 40 minutes today. Going to try and do that as much as I can to help increase weekly mileage.

9:30 pace

I am enjoying the whole process so far: the actual running, the variety of runs and the recording of things. Having a Garmin and how it makes it more interesting for me just proves I am kind of a geek.

My heart rate does really tend to go up on the hills, even slight ones. I think I need to do some intervals or something.

And BTW, a question for anyone out there: how does one determine what is a 'fast' mile and what is a 'slow' one. Right now, my working definition is anything >10:00 is slow.
