PRed in Malibu Nov. 2009 with a 4:00:25, I think.  Shy of sub-4 hours and shy of BQ 3:45.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Still want to qualify for Boston (3:55).

Want to qualify for the NYC Marathon by running a 1:42 half marathon.

Upcoming Races

Long Beach Half Marathon Oct. 8

Surf City Marathon Feb. 2018--I'm training to try to BQ.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to keep running marathons into my 70s.

Personal:

Keep close to Nature's heart...and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods.  Wash your spirit clean. --John Muir

 

I stole this from Tom's blog because I really like it:

Hudson tidbit: "When it's done right, the long-term training process is like an asymptote. The line that the training process moves toward but never reaches is 'perfect training'.....while it's impossible to train perfectly, it is possible to train better and better."

Ran a short slow run with an old friend who can't run anymore because of a bad knee.  She's almost 50 and out of shape, but she was able to do 10 minute miles for 3.4 miles.  I was impressed.  I'm flying home tomorrow and may not get a run in then.

Loved being back in warm CA!!!  Nice 6 mile run on a bike trail in shorts and t-shirt--needed a tank top--it got hot!

Enjoyed running my first run of the year.  Did it on a rather hilly part of South OC and really pushed the pace on the uphills.  View it using my new Garmin thingy:  http://connect.garmin.com/activity/21444758

Shins a little achey on this third day in a row of running.  I didn't let myself run the 10 miles I wanted to because I thought that'd be pushing the shins too much.  I'm hoping to run another 6-8 miles tomorrow and the next day before resting for one day.  I'm really hoping this will be my first week back to 6-day-a-week workouts. 1:25 total time
