Short-Term Running Goals:

Keep on running, enjoy it for the sake of running, relax and enjoy life...de-stress. Stay fit as I enter retirement in 2025.

No racing, retired.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running until this old body says no, running for fun.

Personal:

I started running competitively in 2005 and ran my first marathon in 2005. Now retired from competitive racing.

Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer;

answer me, for I need your help.
Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
Save me, for I serve you and trust you.
You are my God.
Be merciful to me, O Lord,
for I am calling on you constantly.
Give me happiness, O Lord,
for I give myself to you.
O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord;
hear my urgent cry.
I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble,
and you will answer me. - Psalm 86:1-7

Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
13.10	0.00	3.00	0.00	16.10

8M early on a nice morning...40 degrees and just a slight breeze. I started out feeling tired and not motivated for this run and went out expecting only 5M. After 1M I started to feel good and picked up the pace (no Garmin) and started to through in pickups to race cars to landmarks on the pathway. Overall I felt really good and stretched the run to 8M at what felt like about a 7:00 pace overall. (T3)

A great run at lunch with Pat. Nice warm but very windy day (20+mph out of the south). Pat wanted to do 6 X 0.5M intervals which sounded good for me for some speed work (except for the wind). 2.25M warmup and running over to the road where we are doing the intervals with .25M recovery in between (2:00-2:10 recovery).

1 - 2:35 (with the wind)

2 - 2:51 (into the wind)

3 - 2:50 (into the wind)

4 - 2:51 (half head on, 180 degree turn - half with wind at backs)

5 - 2:52 (half into wind, 180 degree turn - half at backs)

6 - 2:44 (half, 180 degree turn - half) pushing hard the last 0.1M

1.5M cooldown back to the building. A great interval workout (even in my heavier trainers). (T2)

Nice day of running...so what do you think you have in you for Boston? You've run it before, right?

From jtshad on Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 16:57:17 from 204.134.132.225

Dave, I ran Boston in 2006 (my 3rd marathon) in a time of 2:49 on a perfect day.

I am shooting for A: 2:35, B: 2:37, C: sub 2:40 and hoping to break into the top 100/top 20 master. Right now I am feeling really good for C and B and hopeful for A.
