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.

I THINK I BROKE!!!! yessssssss lol.. beat jake, who ran 17:20, bad race for him, and i caught derek for the last bit. i had him really worried until we got to the kick and i was done... partially cuz of my lack of energy, mostly my lack of speed and his being an 800 runner. but i was happy with it. derek's time was 16:55ish. since derek got top 3, he didn't qualify for age division awards, and i got first there. also, the 3 of us and nimrod (who ran to fill the team, 19:06, not bad for such little running) ran as a team and got first there too. two medals! i was just telling myself over and over, don't go to sleep now, go away pain, not right now, just staying awake. it was tough

edit: official time is 16:58! derek was at 16:57 and jake at 17:21

I will never forgive you. My new goal is to beat you over 5k. For the half I have too great an advantage with my background of mileage.
