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
Big difference today, with more sleep. My run was still a bit lackluster, but much better than yesterday. May the trend continue!
Brooks ST3 II Miles: 7.96

I could have used some light showers on my run today! Would have felt great!

Light showers? Lucky you; we had pouring rain all day. Are you enjoying the cooler temps?

The timing was perfect on this one, A-Em. The full downpour started just after my run yesterday and ended just before my run today. How often does THAT happen!?!
