Running Accomplishments:

Ran 2:57 marathon in college 20 years ago.

10 Mile PR 57:22

15K PR 53:24

10K PR 34:29

Short-Term Running Goals:

Start running again and run 1:30 for a half marathon this fall.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Break 3 hours for the marathon

Sub 17 5K, Sub 36 10K.

Personal:

I am married and have two wonderful kids, 14 and 10.  I've been running since 1982.  I never get "basic" injuries.  I always get the real nasty career threatening kind, like stress fracture of the sacrum, ganglion cyst clamping  down on my peroneal nerve.

After work, ran a semiquick 5.5 miles w/ Jacki from Collett Park down around ISU and back in 39:05.  Temp still cool, but warmer, 78.  Legs a little tired.  Then went to Austin's CC practice and ran roughly 2.5 miles pretty slow.   Going to try to do some 400s tomorrow.

This morning ran an easy 2 miles w/ Austin's CC team.  They ran roughly 400m repeats.  About 8:00 pace for the group I ran with.  Then tonight met up w/ Mark and Mike at WW Middle School for 800m repeats.  Did 2 mile warmup, the 4x800m w/ 200m walk rest in the fastest times I've done in years (2:40,2:42,2:44,2:41).  Far-fetched goal was to hit 2:45 on these.  Realistically, I was thinking 2:48.  Then ran a pretty good 5.5 miles w/ Jacki after in 38:14 w/ the last two miles at 6:50 pace.  A little warm and humid today but tolerable.

This afternoon, ran about half mile warmup with Austin's CC team at Hawthorn.  Then ran 4x1000m with one of their groups, pretty easy.  Then after practice ran 6 miles w/ Jacki on the trails at Hawthorn and around Rose-Hulman.  A little quick in some spots around 6:40 pace, but 7:20 the rest of the way.  Had just a little bit of tightness behind knee earlier in the day at work.  Temp cool, 74, but still humid.

Ran an easy 2.5 miles w/ Austin's CC team, and then ran 5.5 with Jacki out at Hawthorn Park.  Legs are just a little tired.  Definitely not going to be "fresh" for tomorrow's race, but gotta train through these 5Ks right now.

Tonight Ran the Midnight River Run 5K in really good time 17:44 for 16th overall.  Sean Mullins out-kicked me the last 200m to get first in our age group.  Splits 5:27,5:53,5:58.  Kind of a tough course.  Ran pretty good considering work was really stressful today with lack of sleep and actually went into the race with sore legs.  "Workout".  Did 2 miles around 8:00 to loosen up.  Then did 2.5 for the race warmup and 3 for the cooldown w/ Jeff & Jacki and Josh.

Ran an easy 13 miles w/ Jeff & Jacki and Josh on the trails at Hawthorn, then down Heritage Trail around cemetery and back, then through Rose-Hulman and added the Blair Witch Loop to it.  Blair Witch is overgrown with nettle!  That really hurt on the sweaty legs! Time 1:34:16.  Temp humid, 74-77.
