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."

Didn't have much in me today after staying out late last night.  Got in a few miles before it started raining though.

I felt weak on the last half of this.   Thinking of swimming tomorrow on my non-running day.

Don't have a time on this cuz I forgot to turn the Garmin on until I was half a mile in.  Was able to drive the part of the course I didn't track to get my total mileage.  Felt sluggish again.  Am getting tan lines from running in the midday sun.

Forced myself to go slow the whole way.  As I increase mileage, I want to do it with slow miles to keep injury at bay.  Pace was between 10:00 and 10:30 most of the way.  Felt great in the light rain.

8.3 in 1:23

Didn't run yesterday because a ligament connecting my femur and tibia is hurting.  Iced and heated all day yesterday, and it felt fine on the 8 miles in the rain today.  Still feels fine 10 hours later.  Probably will run again tomorrow.

Another 8 miles in the rain.  I really love it when I've got time to dry off and warm up and clean the mud off before I have to be anywhere.  Off to Austin tomorrow where my sister-in-law tells me that it's 80 degrees today!

Had fun exploring trails near my sister's house in Austin.  My brother is taking me to run around some lake tomorrow.

This run was more of a chance to run with my brother than an actual training fun.  We ran a loop around Town Lake in Austin.  It's a nice trail with a bunch of runners on it.  I also got to break in my new shoes.

Not sure the time on this.  Did 7 miles in 1:09, but then I took my sister's dog for 1 more mile.  He ran so fast he nearly dragged me into the creek when we were attempting to jump it.

1:24 on very tired legs.  Been steadily increasing this month.  Would have taken today off, but we're driving from Austin to my hometown of Amarillo tomorrow and won't have time for a run.  Helping my parents pack all week and move on the 31st.  May make this a recovery week because I'll lack time for runs and my legs need a break.

Ran a big loop from my parents old house to their new house.  Needed to run a good one today cuz we're starting the move tomorrow and a big cold front is coming through.  50 mile an hour winds in single digit temps will make me not want to run the next couple of days.
