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."

Felt sluggish again.  I guess cuz I'm making my first noticeable increase in distance in some time.  Rest day tomorrow.

Started raining while I was running and chose to cut it short cuz I didn't have anywhere to keep my iPod and Garmin dry.

8.5 in 1:24 in the dark.  It felt nice.  I think I'm getting over the recent sluggish hump.  Yea!

Life made it hard to get this run in.  Did only 6.7 instead of 7 or 8, but that's ok.  We'll call it a recovery week.

Eight miles in 1:20 after work.  Though running at the end of the day is kind of tiring, I enjoy running in the cool darkness.  I close my eyes at times and enjoy that drivers in the sea of cars can't see me in the shadows of the sidewalk, and I can't see them behind their headlights.

Intentionally skipped the 8 miler I had planned for yesterday cuz my shins were not doing well.  After 48 hours of ice and heat, they felt good enough today to get this run in.  I realized too far into the run that I didn't need to run more than 6 miles cuz I'm doing a 10 mile event next Saturday that will make it easy for me to get in this week's miles.  But that's ok; it means I don't have as many miles to get in during the work week.  Kicking my feet up now while watching the Cowboys play.

Had an accident last week and twisted both ankles.  Made me have to miss the 10 mile race on Sat. and miss my weekly mileage.  The time off was wise though; I'm hoping to get back to where I was this week.  Did this 6 miles in 57 minutes, a little faster than usual because my legs were fresh from 5 days off.

6 miles in 55 minutes.  ITB wasn't bothering me today, but still all those ankle and tendon issues from the fall are aching.  Hanging in there though.
