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

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

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."

Garmin wouldn't work, so I quickly downloaded a GPS app on my phone and ran with that.  Technology is so fun.  8.55 miles in 1:24.  Beautiful 60 degrees and sunny!

As unpleasant as getting up at 5am is, I'm feeling more like my old self now that I'm doing 8-mile runs on consecutive days with less and less pain.

Thought I turned my Garmin off when I finished, but I guess I didn't.  So I don't have the actual time for this run.  It was around an hour and a half.  I ran some sub 9 minute splits the last few miles.  Craziest thing, out of nowhere, my old knee pain came back.  The shin was achey too.  The pains all just kind of come and go.  Part of getting old, I guess.  Other than that, this run felt fabulous on this beautiful morning before 8 inches of rain hits us next week, making running not as much fun.
