Short-Term Running Goals:

Train for as solid a race in Boston 2011 as my schedule will allow. Accept the fact that there isn't room in my life to train for a breakthrough performance and do the best I can under the circumstances.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Lose the all-or-nothing mentality and start using running as an outlet instead of an additional source of stress.

Personal:

I'm married with 4 kids (2 boys, 2 girls) and live in Salt Lake City, where I work as a real estate attorney.

Let me have men about me that are fat,
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights.
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look,
He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.

"Julius Caesar," Act I, scene 2, 190-95

10x3-min intervals with 2 min rest between each at Liberty Park. Goal was to maintain 5k pace of around 5:20/mile. I pressed the wrong button on the Garmin after finishing my warmup and starting my first interval and ended up going 3:36 or so before catching the mistake. I reset the Garmin after that and think the splits seem accurate. Here they are:

1. 5:30 (guess)

2. 5:30 (172 bpm)

3. 5:22 (175)

4. 5:39 (176)

5. 5:32 (173)

6. 5:42 (174)

7. 5:52 (176)

8. 5:24 (175)

9. 5:57 (178)

10. 5:38 (175)

I looked down at my Garmin after about the 6th interval and thought, based on how I felt, that I must only have about 1 left. The legs felt tired, the effort felt hard, and I just never really got into a zone. Looking back on my numbers, I'm a little discouraged that I wasn't able to hold my target pace for even one interval. I hope Thursday's tempo goes better.
