Qualify for Boston (4:05 for my age/gender) - or, perhaps, to use my desire for a BQ as a way to get in the hated speed work so I don't just get slower and slower over the years. This goal is "under (re)construction" right now, until I figure out whether it is truly what I want. :)
Long-Term Running Goals:
To continue learning about myself and about running, and to enjoy being a fit, happy runner for life. To always know why I am running and the best way to get the most (both mentally and physically) out of my runs. To keep a sense of humor and remain optimistic about myself as a runner. To enjoy running more and more with every passing year.
Personal:
Baby boomer generation. Jogged a little in my 20's and 30's. Started running seriously in 2002. Low-carb runner since January 2010.
I love long runs and cold, cloudy weather. I don't believe in "junk miles." I am an optimist. I adore dark chocolate, fog, my family, and knitting -- not necessarily in that order.
"As every runner knows, running is about more than just putting one foot in front of the other; it is about our lifestyle and who we are." -- Joan Benoit Samuelson
High 40s, cloudy w/ wind and showers last 3 miles. Endurance run, club run, L.B. hill.
Not one of my better runs. I may not have slept well enough. It was one of those long runs where you keep thinking, "I'll be warmed up soon and things will feel better." Then you realize you've spent the past 10 miles saying that. And no "feel better" is coming. You've been stood up.
I don't know why people send me this sort of thing, but I might as well pass it on, if only for the sake of ending this post on a positive, though goofy, note.

well, I didn't listen to the song as my internet connection here is really slow and our bandwidth is minuscule, but nice miles! I haven't run that distance since the SFM! Way to go!
