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

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."

My marathon pains still bothered me even after another 3 days of rest.  But the hamstring felt better.  It was still that mysterious muscle in the front outside of my lower left leg that really hurt during the marathon.  Being a new nuisance, I didn't listen much to it; I simply told it to shut up. 

So tomorrow, I will get back to my regularly-scheduled before-work runs.  I may not do 10 milers yet just to take it easy, but I aim to get back to those in a couple of weeks.  Eyes peeled for another BQ race....

Didn't try to push it too much.  Cold morning; should've had long sleeves.

Felt more like my old self today, despite lingering marathon pains, particularly at the beginning.  Ran the 8 miles at a 9:43 avg. pace and felt high on the second half.  Smiled a little while I ran.  Love that feeling.

My right shin is still acting up.  Top of left foot too, but it's the shin that threatens to hault my running.  Did the 8 miles at around 9:20 avg. pace.

Had a fun run on a new trail.  Started at UCI and took University to the 405.  Ran parallel to the 405 on the Sand Canyon bike trail to Sand Canyon Dr.  followed the trail into Shady Canyon and had to ask people for directions to get back to UCI.  Lots of hills and nice scenery.  1:22 total  and 9:37 avg pace.  Shin still hurts.
