Running Accomplishments:

I have always loved running, but started running marathons in 2008, I havent had any training(at that distance) and have struggled to get a good time.  I also have been running with some slower groups, which doesnt help.  my fastest marathon is 4:36, I know its not impressive, but I am commited to 3:10 this year.  I CAN DO IT!!!

Short-Term Running Goals:

I aim to be in the best shape of my life, physically and emotionaly.  I want to compete more, 5K, 10K, half and full marathons.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I really want to keep my self in shape and exercised, maintain a good cardio work out.

My left calf is STILL sore, I could not and can not seem to work it out. It is is hindering me, consuming my thoughts while I run. I will stretch more, and maybe go get "the stick" from sgrc. I did another 6 miles today, Clyde wants me being more consistent, so here I am. I ran faster today than yesterday, I guess its an improvement and thats always good. Clyde also wants me getting faster each mile rather than going out fast. so today my splits are:

1 - 8:35

2 - 8:21

3 - 8:16

4 - 8:12

5 - 8:32

6 - 9:11

 

I really slowed the last mile and half. my calf was cramping a bit.   I am also still dealing with my throat, I had my tonsils taken out about 7 weeks ago and its a learning curve with breathing again.  anyway, overall I felt good.
