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.

run will be in the afternoon. for now, did a core workout. gonna start doing these a couple times a week.

afternoon: 8 miles, ran to a track with nim, did 5x~200m with 5-6 min rest. i'm not sure how accurate the 200m were, but the times were 31.5ish, 32.8ish, 31.low, 30.08, 29.52. i didn't start looking at the decimals really till later in the workout. afterwards did 2 strides. my tendon from my groin to down the inside of my thigh is sort of acting up again, probably from the sprints and sharp turns on this weird track. bargh.

Pretty good speed. Was that from a running start or just off the line? Look who else i got to join - melissa.fastrunningblog.com

that was from just off the line. i think the first one was short by a little. there were no distance markers, so we tried to start and stop an equal distance from the start of the turn. after the first one we fixed a start and end point.

haha awesome! nice job on the recruit
