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
I'm sorry you had the monkeys this morning. I really thought they would be with me and was surprised by their absence. But it's good that the soreness is down and the leg strength is up.

At least you had some company (the monkeys) on your run LOL... Sorry I know you don't like them. I'm sure they will be visiting me when I'm able to get out on the road. So they will be leaving soon.
Hey...should be light when you are running these days, right?
My legs prefer the tread right after a hard race...although my brain is not thrilled about it...helps keep it easy...just a thought.
Looking forward to rocking Newport with you!!!
