Recovery Run. Hard to maintain recovery HR headed uphill today, and encountered worst case of Runner's Trots yet...need to figure out how to prevent this!!! Managed to not get bitten by aggressive dog (called owner...again) out and back. Hope to be well rested for tomorrow's Tempo Run.

Welcome to the Blog!

Some aggressive goals there, but if you don't set the goal you can't do it. All of your PR's are last year, so are you new to running?

If an owner doesn't respond to your feedback, it's time to call animal control. Dogs are so annoying to runners -- and downright scary to alot of us.

Thanks for the welcome. Yes, relatively new...been running steadily for about a year and a half, so I'm still enjoying the "low hanging fruit" so-to-speak.

I live in the country, so I'm used to dogs being off-leash...this particular one appears like she might really want a taste of me, but I'm really trying to work with the neighbor. Today's the last chance before I call animal control...at least, that's what I'm telling myself today.

As for goals? Yes, definitely aggressive. I managed to cut 29+ minutes off my first marathon's time after 6 months consistent training for Portland, despite the fact that I ran with the pacer, not my head, and blew up in the last 10K, so I think can at least find the 4 minutes I need for Seattle (despite somewhat late hills). Gotta have goals so you can either meet them and set new ones, or miss them and work harder for the next time.

Welcome to FRB. I really like the "Find my true running potential, once there, exceed it!" This is great. There are a lot of guys with your same goal to break 3 hours and many more that have done it on the blog so you should find a lot of support and helpful advice along your way.

Dale - welcome to the blog!

Dale,

Welcome to the blog. I'm also trying to break 3:00 in the marathon. We have very similar PR's for the half so it will be interesting to follow your progress.
