Feb 14: Run With Your Heart - trail 15k
Goal: Stay upright
It's a new race so I have little idea of the course. Surface is hilly bridal trail, I think. With 2' of snow on the ground, footing will suck and useless to pick a time/pace goal. Signed up so I'll run it but should probably be racing the road 5k in downtown instead.
Why 4:19? Did you come up with that or was it your coach? Your recent races and workouts indicate something more in the 4:30-4:35 range. I only say this b/c even though you have set some PRs recently you have missed your goal and eventually that cycle of running fast, but still feeling disappointed about the result can wear on a runner mentally as well as physically.
i say 4:19 because that would qualify me for the conference meet. I honestly would be surprised if I ran it myself, but for me a goal is something to shoot for, not something that I have to get. All I'm looking for is improvement, and if I feel like I improved and ran my best in a race, then I'll be happy. I'm honestly not really that disappointed with not reaching the goals I had in the 3k and 5k. I improved and I can live with that.
And that's besides the fact I ran 4:29 in high school and I'm in much better shape than I was in then..

I keep forgetting that there are two of you.
Possibly...or it may just be my split personality you are talking to...
Chomping at the bit for this one. Mercedes Marathon. Birmingham AL. 2:45 or less. That would be a pr. Finish in the money (top 5). There are atleast 4 others under the title "elite runners" for this marathon who a 2:45 would be a cakewalk. This is including two who are low 2:20 marathoners (James Cheruiyot & Julius Kosgei).

Good luck Josh!
How do you keep your feet on the ground, when you know you were born to fly?
break'n three
What does Tunis make?
I keep forgetting which one is the evil twin.
(PS: I started "running" again, and had a race this weekend, but they canceled it. What a waste, I could have skipped the shuffling around and pretending to run if they'd told me they were gonna cancel it.)
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
mileage hound
Indy Mini (I hate that race title) Training Series 5k 2/13. I would like to say 18x but who knows what the weather conditions will be around here on Sat. So I will take the "sub 20" weak ass cop out route.
Does that mean I'm not going to be dragging you around Eagle Creek for 16 miles? Or am I just the warmup?

Feb 13 Iron Horse 100k Florahome, FL Goal: Sub-11:30
This is my first 100k that doesn't involve climbing the equivalent of Everest, so (if nothing goes wrong) it should result in a PR. Since it is flat, I really want to work on maintaining a steady pace throughout the race.
Austin Texas half marathon. 1:16:30. 2/14/10
Didn't see this. Good luck Razo!
PS: I started "running" again
Good to see you are running again because you have races to run. And, we have to show MrPhinNJ the marathon course this May.
