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
48F, cloudy & breezy, and... dark again. (gr) Easy run. 20 min. strength.
A bit stronger today, but still sloooooow. My first day back to strength training felt good, but now I have that shaky feeling in my limbs. I hope I won't be sore tomorrow.
All of us morning runners are grumbling about the dark this morning.
I bet you'll feel fine tomorrow. You're recovering very well.

Good to see you back out there! I hope I rest as sensibly as you have. I noticed on my schedule that I'm on the bike the day after the 50K. Not sure how I feel about that!

Spoken like a true... sleep deprived person.

The best thing about DST is going off of it.
