Lose some weight and get back into racing shape. Run more races this year.
Next race: St. George Marathon
Long-Term Running Goals:
Stay healthy and in good enough shape that I can more or less keep up with my youngest daughter.
Personal:
My wife Laureen got me into running. She went into the St. George Marathon Ten Year Club last year and I should go in this year. I have two daughters (15 and 21).
Did the four mile loop at noon. Was a little cool and breezy starting out, but felt great by the end. I pushed it a little harder today, but didn't wear my watch or check my pace.
Ran a little easier than yesterday. My calves were a bit tight and I wasn't feeling particularly energetic. Temperatures were in the mid-50's at 12:30 with a slight breeze blowing. It seemed like the warmest day of the year. I ran in shorts and a long sleeve technical shirt.
Noontime run. Laureen hadn't made it back from taking Brittany to school, so I took off by myself. Felt pretty good and pushed it a bit harder. Average pace was only 8:43, but I'm feeling a little stronger all the time. No aches or pains to speak of.
