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
Mid 50sF, cloudy. Another recovery run. 20 min strength and stretching.
I've got my usual DOMS today, mostly in the quads. So I took it really slowly. I am loving this weather. I thought I even felt a few raindrops from time to time but I can't be sure.
Much to do this morning... :)

How many days have you run in a row now? It must be around 21 or 22. I guess I could go back and count, but I'm too lazy.
Have fun with your busy morning.

No, just 7. I took last Monday off. I've got a low mileage week in front of me, so I guess I'll call this A Taper. ;)

Even though you've been consistently consistent ever since I started reading your blog last year, I'm still consistently amazed at your consistence as I read your blog on a consistent basis.
Consistently yours, JD
