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 hate running here in michigan. way to hot. very little shade. one loop, which makes running any farther very difficult mentally. ended up scrapping today's long run for now.

There is also a 10 miler in MA on Nov 7th 10th & Final Larry Robinson 10 Miler & 5K Road Race. A half marathon october 31st in NH 25th White Mountain Milers Half Marathon supposed to be flat but it is NH so 3hrs away and most of NH is not flat so who knows. And a half marathon Nov 14th on the coast of NH 5th Annual Seacoast Half Marathon. And one in MA on Oct 3rd Harwich Cranberry Harvest Half Marathon & 7.3M but im not sure I'll be ready for that one. I think we should do that 10miler either way. You will easily go under an hour and that is a big milestone. And we will finish top 5.
