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.
Great spring day. But I felt like absolute crap (no running the last week). Kept the pace honest - 7:14/mile - which hurt a little bit. Earlier at track practice I did warmups, stretching, drills and accelerations.
After the run I walked a couple of miles with Emily.
Worked and then a track meet today - standard 12 hour day. The rest of the week will be the same. Got home and did a brisk 20 minutes - middle part from 6:15 to 6:30 pace.
Got in a short workout after practice. It was pouring rain so I did some laps around the gym, hallways and some sets of stairs. Just enough to work up a sweat. School activities in the evening and got home late.
A.M. - Treadmill warmup (1 mile) and 25 minutes of upper body weights (hard).
P.M. - Greenbelt - 1:00
Started from the Ram and went upstream on the dirt until the construction at the new bridge turned me back. Overall pace was around 7:10/mile with a hard half mile pickup in 3:05 at the end. This effort wore me out, but in a good way.
