Short-Term Running Goals:

Qualify for Boston (4:05 for my age/gender) - or, perhaps, to use my desire for a BQ as a way to get in the hated speed work so I don't just get slower and slower over the years. This goal is "under (re)construction" right now, until I figure out whether it is truly what I want. :)

Long-Term Running Goals:

To continue learning about myself and about running, and to enjoy being a fit, happy runner for life. To always know why I am running and the best way to get the most (both mentally and physically) out of my runs. To keep a sense of humor and remain optimistic about myself as a runner. To enjoy running more and more with every passing year.

Personal:

Baby boomer generation. Jogged a little in my 20's and 30's. Started running seriously in 2002. Low-carb runner since January 2010.

I love long runs and cold, cloudy weather. I don't believe in "junk miles." I am an optimist. I adore dark chocolate, fog, my family, and knitting -- not necessarily in that order.

"As every runner knows, running is about more than just putting one foot in front of the other; it is about our lifestyle and who we are." -- Joan Benoit Samuelson

Second try at this entry. :(

38F, cloudy, easy run.

Sno's Leg Recovery Index: soreness 1, perceived leg strength 4, Monkeys 3. The relationship between the PLS and the Monkeys is this: your legs feel much better but the Garmin keeps showing you numbers like 11:05, 12:10, 11:45....

Asics Piranha Miles: 6.84

I saw you run by the house this a.m. in your "springy" colors...looking like an easter egg...then a bit later Sommer came by...keep on pushing!

Here we come, walkin'

Down the street.

We get the funniest looks from

Ev'ry one we meet.

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees

And people say we monkey around.

But we're too busy singing

To put anybody down.

:-)

Maybe the monkeys are in the Garmin, not on the legs. Or maybe they just like going for a ride.
