I was an 800/1500 runner in high school and college, with PRs of 1:55 and 4:08. I've run as fast as 16:15 for 5k and 1:20 for a half, but my bests in recent years are 17:07 5k (Dec. '11), 37:40 10k (Jan. '12), 1:23:49 half (Sept. '08), 2:53:12 marathon (September '10), and 4:45:06 50k (March '10).
Short-Term Running Goals:

— Nookachamps half marathon (Jan. 16)
— Toyko Marathon (Feb. 28)

11th-Shore Drive, a short version then up to Manette Park for 8x75m barefoot in the grass. Felt good to do that. 39:00
Manette Hills loop, with a new middle part of the route to go through the Stevenson Canyon trails. I probably could have extended things a bit in there, maybe next time. My legs felt as good as they have in three weeks, first time I haven't been sore/tired in the quads as I get started. 47:25
Track workout night. Mile warmup, 6x1600m @6 min. pace w/200m easy between. They were a little uneven —5:56, 6:01, 6:04, 5:56, 5:51, 5:56 — but felt really strong, especially toward the end. Then an 800m jog with Henry and we got out of there.
Long out and back on Tracyton Boulevard (the road past the boat launch). Turned at Allen's Corner. Good pace, and I ran a few quicker miles on the way back because my legs felt a little frisky. Trail race tomorrow up in Kingston. 1:40:00
