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.

Around the in-laws house. Started at the  bottom of the hill and worked around at about 7m per mile. Felt good, didn't push it at all and 7mpm was a nice pace. The hills were hard and I took the back way going up Yakushigaoka, near the Flower Gardens. 1:06. A slight pain in the hip afterwards but on Monday no pain at all.  Will keep to 10 miles for a few weeks and try to do some hip excercises.

Anyway, feels good to be on the higher end of the mileage without any pain.

2 mile warm up. 3 X 1 mile:  6.04  6.04 .  6.05 (2 minute interval)

Felt great, didn't push it too much just let myself flow.

5pm Quite cold outside but perfect for running.
