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
53F, low clouds, breezy. G-A run with steep hills. 20 min. strength.
I wanted a little more of a challenge today, but not so much that I would need a recovery day. So I picked a route with steeper hills than usual and tried to "power up" each one.
Hey, us Ragnarites are getting together for a pasta feed on Thursday evening @ Tanner Jeans park if you want to come meet some other runners. There will be 6 guys and 6 girls and our families. 6 pm if interested.

You're a lucky girl with that great weather.
