I've been running since junior high. Ran middle distance in college with a PB of 1:52 for the 800 meters, then continued running with varying degrees of seriousness throughout my 20's and 30's. Moved up in distance and even ran three marathons (2:43 PB). Now just trying to stay in shape and find balance in life in my 40's.
Short-Term Running Goals:
Work out 30 minutes a day, six days a week
Long-Term Running Goals:
Stay healthy and consistent.
Personal:
Married with 3 children. Work as a school counselor.
Really warm at 11:30 a.m. Ran from the Riverside upstream and back, then hit the pool there for a couple of hours. A bit of a struggle on this run - just feeling slow and out of shape every run lately (which I am). Average pace of 7:39/mile.
Ran a couple of errands via the canal banks. Still hot at 9 pm. Although I ran slow, I felt a little lighter and less dead-legged than in the past few weeks. Did 5 x 20 second pickups in the last half of the run.
Steady pace before work. Did 3 x 20 second pickups during the last mile. Need to start getting into some better sleep habits. Nice to get in a morning run for a change.
Morning run with Jeremy Wallace from the cabin. Out and back, and got in some good climbing for a bit. Fun to get out and actually put in a few miles and get a decent run in. One of the longest runs since the half marathon in May?
