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."

Went in the heat of the day, but it felt good.  A chronic pain in my foot is threatening to rear its head.  Need to remember to ice when I ice the knees even if it doesn't hurt.

Experimented with getting up early to run before work.  Felt OK but I didn't give myself enough time to get in all 6 miles.  How can I get up even earlier when I start running longer runs?  How do you people do it?

Ran in the morning again.  My first mile is slower than my average because my body is stiff.  But then I worry about being late to work, so once I'm warmed up, I run almost a minute faster than my average pace.  Not sure if any of this is good or bad.  It sure feels good to have my run out of the way at the start of the day; there's no worrying about whether I'll get my run in today or not.
