Short-Term Running Goals: Compete in another Half Marathon and get a decent time - under 1:20 would be great! Step up to 5 days a week running.
Long-Term Running Goals: Keep running with as little injury as possible and achieve the sub-3 dream (Accomplished!!! 2010). Next dream is to improve my half-marathon and 10km time.
Personal:
I am 40 years old and married with two young children. I have been training on and off for the last 10 years. I have been training three times a week for the most part but hoping to step that up to 5-times a week and see if I can avoid injuries, although 3 seems to be about as much as I can manage with work and family. "Run less, run faster" is my running bible that has helped my do just that. 1 steady, 1 quick and 1 long seems to keep my fast enough for my input.

| 42.00 min run 1st 7.10 followed by 5 6.45 p.miles runs. Felt good on the 2nd but the others felt strained. For whatever reason I cannot hit the 6.30 mark so easily as a month ago when I was in America, I am sure it is heat related, but nonetheless it is frustrating to be stuck in one gear all the time on the tempo runs. Sleep time 8. P.E 5/5

| Got out at 5am, motivated by reading other blogs on this site of early morning runs in between big training runs. I feel that I may need some more mileage to get my strength up and a base run might be the order of the day. My 3 day programme of hard sessions is great but one more fun run day might not be such a bad thing just ti get rid of those exhaust fumes. |

| Went out for a, easy 10 at 5 pm Sat evening. Thought it has cooled down but it was still in the mif 30's with high humidity. Ran the first 3 at a comfortable 7.10 pace then the next 3 around 7 min. pace whereby I felt the effects of dehydration and looked for a water stop. I didn't get one until I had climbed a huge hill with my Garmin telling me to speed up! Then I found a water tap and drank like a horse. By mile 8 though I felt a worrying pain in my achilles (prob. after a faster pace down hill) so I decided to call it a day and got in some water (stopped at a restuarant and asked it they could give me a glass or two). Then I jogged/walked up the hill home. Lesson: I still need to take a water bottle out on long runs in this weather! |

| '7:15am start, pretty muggy (28 degrees) but it was scheduled in and I felt as though I would be able to do this pretty well. Took the first mile in 7:30 and tried to raise it up a little, ended with a finish run of 1:49: 13 ( av. 7:17 per mile.). I took my bottle this time to help hydration and that was a big boon, although the weight always slows me up. I had hoped for a smoother run but given the heat was still glad to finish with those averages. Feel though that I need some more strength training if I am to do well in the marathon. |

| 10 miles in the rain. 1.10. Started too fast 6.45, wanted to keep it a steady 7.00. Extremely muggy first half and the heavans opened in the last part, so much so that I couldn't see a thing it was raining so hard. The thunder storms that accompanied it were also pretty scary, had me jumping with fright a couple of times.

| Earlyish start 6.50. Ten miles at about 6.55 av. pace. Had missed a session last week so I felt well rested. The first 5 miles were at around 6.45 but I was hit by a toilet call. I found a bush at the top of a hill next to the road and saved myself a nasty accident. Managed to hide from passing cars, they would have been surprised to see a foreigner in the bushes with his shorts down. Still felt great afterwards! The second half was up some nasty hills. THe last mile is especially steep hence my final time was 1:12. Weather: cool ABout 22 degrees. 7 hours sleep

Base training. Tipping down, wore wind jacket.
6 miles at 7.05-7-15 pace. V easy, had to slow down a lot to keep it at this pace. Enjoyed it a lot but really wanted to move a bit faster but I knew I had a tough session the next day.
