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.

Easy run, not pushing it at all for a while until this hip gets better.

10km. 44 minutes, at around 7.5 - 10 per mile. Felt really nice to be running again, and no pain at all after the run. Iced and stretched. Really cold now in the evenings.

Down at the gym, did some pole stretching excercises, some IT Band work, and some hip strengthening work on the big ball. Followed with some sit-ups. I wanted to do some running on the treadmill but they were all booked up, so I had to go home! Shame I couldn't do a run but family comes first.

I only had 40 minutes to spare today so I managed to fit in a 30 minute run. I took it relatively easy again, there was a big hill, again I felt good.  The next day I felt a little sore in the right hip. Not exactly where I had it before, so I am wondering if it is a phantom pain or an associated one.
