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.

Ran four times last week, so I'm getting back into the groove. I start PT tomorrow, at last! Today's run was my first attempt at any distance. Not sure if the back was any more or less stiffer than if I didn't run at all. I think it helps. I'll try and nudge it up some more next weekend.

Ran with Jim, an old friend from high school who was in town. He doesn't run very often; mostly he swims, but when he does, likes to run on the beach. I ran to his parents house, we drove to Ocean Beach, ran 6 miles in the sand from the Cliff House to the Zoo and back, then back to his parents' and I ran home. It was great to see him after so long. Not a big fan of Facebook, but this is one of it's good aspects. Ran on 3.5  hours sleep. I have to admit, if I hadn't made the date with Jim, I never would have gotten out of bed to do this.

I like the Kinvaras the more I run in them. I wonder about durability though, since the soles show more wear than I would like to see on this many miles. The Asics I have always worn seem to be more durable.

Haven't been feeling well, but wanted to get something in today so I ran for a bit on the treadmill at the gym. I read that one should add 1% grade to make up for lack of wind resistance, so I did.
