Short-Term Running Goals:

Summer:

build to up 70+ miles per week, occasional core and races, follow Jake's school's summer training plan until about August when I'll focus more on the half marathon; new goal: under 17 for 5k. 16:30 for 5k by the end of the summer


 Fall:

By next October I'm shooting to be under 1:20 for an Albany, NY half marathon.

Otherwise, just keeping up the miles so that I'm healthy, and possibly competitive, for a long time to come.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Eventually I would like to run a marathon, hopefully going under 3 hours, maybe significantly so. I'll think about that one when it's more in sight. I hope to continue improving my 5k time in the meantime.

Personal:

I'm an undergraduate at Brown University and part of the running club there. I'm told I should read Once a Runner, especially now that it's in print again... We'll see if that happens. Ok, so I read it, haha. It's awesome.

Yo. Nice, henry.fastrunningblog.com was free. Now I have to start updating my blog. Also bedoukian.fastrunningblog.com is my friend matt's blog and he still updates it. Maybe I could get him to join in the challenge.

also, half marathon finish? change that goal. Local elite or something along those lines.

Also you ARE going to read once a runner if I have to pin your eyes open and tape the pages to your forehead while waterboarding you.

Welcome to the blog! Once a Runner is a great book, as is its sequel, Again to Carthage.

Matt Bedoukian, that is bedoukian.fastrunningblog.com, is in for our half marathon challenge. The funny thing is that currently our fitness is inverse to our respective PR's. You are the most fit now and your PR is weak. Bedoukian is moderately fit and his PR is mediocre. Im so out of shape but my PR is, if you dont mind me saying, ridonculous.

BTW don't fall behind on updating the blog. I will pester you.
