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."

Had to wait for the airline to deliver my bags which carried my running shoes to Texas, but they finally arrived, and I got to try out my new Forerunner 405CX.  Felt pretty good running.  Ran it in 1:00.

It was a chilly 34 degrees when I started, but I wore lot of clothes today and stayed toasty.  The run felt good.  I think I'm finally on the mend.  1:25 total

The ice still hasn't melted but there was less traffic this morning, so I was able to run 6 slow miles in 20 degrees.  Then had a nice breakfast casserole to eat with my family post run.
