3. PR 31May HM
2015 Races
2XU HM - 29 Mar
275 miles
Short term goal: 17:59 5K
Mid term goal: 2:54:59 marathon
Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life. (I started running at age 45).
I'm training for a marathon (yawn...) at the end of the month. So...
- Manage to get back to a few respectable weeks of mileage (60 this week, then 70-70) and then, a strict 7 days of taper.
- Run said marathon well, but while having fun (I'm not sure what that means yet. I will have to think about it). No pressure, I just want to enjoy the day (not sure what "enjoying the day" means either...).
PRs: Boston Marathon, 3:27, April 15th 2013
Cornwall Half-Marathon, 1:35, April 27th 2013
18 marathons, 18 BQs since 2010

Try to stay uninjured...left leg isn't feeling right lately, so I'll have to cut down my mileage, stretch, and foam roll like crazy. Plus, a trip to the chiropractor is in order too.
My main goal is to smash my lifetime 10K PR of 50:52...would love to go sub-50.
1. Building back mileage. I've been a bit of a slug since Boston but that's o.k. Want to get back over 200 for May peaking around 70 for the first week or so of June for a half-marathon on June 22.
2. 5K on Memorial Day for a little fitness check.
Run and swim consistently.
Work up to 30mpw.
Be happy.
Running is my mental-Ctrl-Alt-Del.
You can be Happy. I'll be Grumpy. George can be Doc. Someone with allergies can by Sneezy. Just need three more.
Run. At all.
I will have had three full weeks out of the walking boot by the end of May, so by the end of the month, I think I should be able to at least *try* to run. I would not be surprised if it took me multiple runs to actually accumulate one full mile, but I will do what I can do.
Also, even if the ankle is not ready to run, get back to normal cardio. This, I have no doubt I can do this month.
My wildly inconsistent PRs:
5k: 24:36 (10/20/12)
10k: 52:01 (4/28/12)
HM: 1:50:09 (10/27/12)
Marathon: 4:19:11 (10/2/2011)
