Short-Term Running Goals:

I've been a very active runner since High School ( I usually run 5-6 days a week) but I have yet to run a Marathon or any other competitive race since then. I want to get back into competitive running and hopefully have similar results like in High School. Although, last January 09 I got shin splints really bad and it took a good 6 months of rest and rehab to finally get back in the groove. I would like to run a sub 8 minute mile on my first Marathon but maybe I should just worry about finishing it first?   

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

Personal:

I'm 42 years old and I'm married! I enjoy the outdoors (Hunting, Camping, Backpacking)

Well...I didn't run at all last week due to my dumb injury (shin splints) but I did however go to Physical Therapy yesterday. It was really good! I did it over at TOSH. The Pysical Therapist that I saw is a Marathon Runner and he ran some in college. He knows exactly what I'm going through. Unfortunately, he said I need to lay off of it for at least another 2 weeks and then ease back into it. It's going to be tough, I want to ge out there run now! But, the exercises he gave me should help a lot and I should get over the injury.
