Short-Term Running Goals:

-Find some good local races to run that will motivate me to stay in shape.

Long-Term Running Goals:

-Run a few fast marathons. Grandma's, St. George, and Boston are on my target list.

-Stay fit for a very long time. I believe what goes into making a competitive runner at age 60 is much different than age 20, just like what goes into making a good marathoner differs from a good sprinter. I hope that by taking care of my body, I can be very fast for my age as I get older.

Total Distance

9.00

Today was a good run for 2 reasons. I did a workout of 6xK on the Cleveland ave route (only the north side, keeping it flat), with the expectation that tomorrow that area will be flooded with traffic. The idea for the workout and number of reps came from my pre-Victory training last year. The first good thing is that I found a new way of getting to the soft surface trail that avoids the construction on Como. I can go straight through the quiet SAP neighborhood, go through Breck woods, and make it to the soft surface in 1.35 miles without ever going on Como. This is a huge win (in non-winter conditions) and interestingly, I may never have discovered it it weren't for the construction. The second nice thing is that my times were pretty good. It is actually the fastest average I have ever had doing Ks on this route, not taking number of reps into account. This was surprising because I felt so tired beforehand, even right before the workout. Not like fatigued legs, like actual fatigue. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, as I have seen previously that things like how I slept the night before don't correlate at all with performance. I ran 3:00, 3:00, 3:00, 2:58, 3:03, 2:57. There was a headwind going north.
