I've been running since junior high. Ran middle distance in college with a PB of 1:52 for the 800 meters, then continued running with varying degrees of seriousness throughout my 20's and 30's. Moved up in distance and even ran three marathons (2:43 PB). Now just trying to stay in shape and find balance in life in my 40's.
Short-Term Running Goals:
Work out 30 minutes a day, six days a week
Long-Term Running Goals:
Stay healthy and consistent.
Personal:
Married with 3 children. Work as a school counselor.
Ran from work and did a loop on the canals and through the neighborhoods. Cut through the field and did a couple of fast pickups on West's cinder track. Good run today.
Returned a library book at the Hillcrest Branch, then ended up at the track and did about a mile. Snow and rain today finally cleared the inversion, and it was nice to have some fresh air. Just ran really slow and relaxed this evening.
Had 30 minutes to run, so I ran to the track and did some accelerations, then a 1000m at about 5k pace (approx 19 min). Sometime soon - maybe tomorrow -I'm going to do a hard 5k effort to see where my basic fitness is so I can apply some paces and set up a little bit of a plan. Really nice day out today and I felt pretty good on the run.
