             5k, Mile

           9/30  Own Your Own Health 5k   

           <18, mile = run hard

             

           

          Definitely racing the 5k, from the website it's unclear whether the mile is a race or just a walk but it rather sounds like it is a race. Both are free too...good stuff.

          They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that. "If I am still standing at the end of the race, hit me with a Board and knock me down, because that means I didn't run hard enough" If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death. "Don't fear moving slowly forward...fear standing still."


          SELFISH, like you.

            Maine (half) Marathon.

            1:26 (no idea if this is realistic...only one way to find out)

             

            Last year Joan Benoit Samuelson ran this in 1:25:31. I don't see her on the registered runners list but it would be cool if she turned up again this year.

             

              This is probably a pretty sick joke, but I've been chasing this for a while and my window of opportunity is closing pretty quickly.  Sub 17:00 at Kerouac 5k on Sunday the 30th.

              May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your SPF30, may the rains fall soft upon your sweat-wicking hat, and until you hit the finish line may The Flying Spaghetti Monster hold you in the hollow of His Noodly Appendage.

                    September 30th. Berlin Marathon, Germany.

                     

                    Was supposed to be my fall goal race but sadly I did not get to train like I should have. Not sure what I can pull. I'd like to PR(sub 3:09), but not sure how realistic that is since I didn't work for it. Since I ran 3:10 last month, hopefully i'm at least still in that shape. If i'm super lucky maybe I can run faster off my spring training.

                     

                     Goal 3:05-3:10.

                    How do you keep your feet on the ground, when you know you were born to fly?

                         It is realistic, and ballsy.

                           Marathon fitness seems to me to be a cumulative-fitness thing (not as cycle-specific as other distances).   You never know.

                              I'll either be celebrating or crying, but either way I'll be at the IA with beer in hand.

                                This is my 4th race in the month of September. Trust the process.

                                 

                                I'd rather go to Lowell and witness history and/or go to Woburn and drink with the Shamrocks but I need to be done in time to coach micro soccer so I'll be racing around my old 'hood in Cambridge in the morning.
