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.

6:43 pace, east river road. Beautiful day and perfect weather to be out on a run. Nice and quiet too thanks to the holiday.

Campus loops. I had 4:10 rest this time. It was windy. Ran 12:20 and 12:14. That's the fastest I've averaged over the three times I've done this, although all were similar and neither of the previous attempts were expected to be barn burners.

Today was the last day the fairgrounds will be closed. 6:50 pace on my modified Como classic route, although it felt slower. Felt tired. Wore a long sleeve and gloves!! That sure happened fast.

6:46 pace, diagonal/St A parkway. Felt good on a nice crisp morning. The air outside was really clean, although I do think this is my most polluted route.

Great cool fall morning to run on west river road. 18 miles felt really good in comparison to previous weeks. Also, my target was to run "chill pace" on the way out, and then do a 3 mile tempo on the way back, which overall feels easier than "slog it out" pace. I started the tempo after being done with the Winchell trail on the way back, and finished at the top of the hill at the entrance of west campus. 5:11 pace is solid for that route at that point in my run. 5:53 pace overall including most of the detours which I can now map. That is quite good. 5:43 pace on the way back, although I did stop to catch my breath for a minute after the tempo. My new gel tasted interesting but should be fine I think. Good day!
