Short-Term Running Goals:

In 2009 I am hoping to break 26.5 minutes on a road 5K, 60 minutes on a road 10K, 2:15 for a half marathon and 4:40 for a marathon.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to get my body as strong and healthy as possible and keep running for many more years. I want to be able to be outside running in my beloved mountains as much as possible. I also plan to become the best runner that my body will allow - given my free time, age and desire to run for the rest of my life.

Personal:

I am single with two grown children. Books and chocolate and working out are my passions. I spend my money making hours playing with databases and testing computer applications.

Be of good cheer, for I am in your midst and I have not forsaken you.

Trying to get motivated again.  My achilles in the right ankle is still bothering me and my left ankle has been stiff and achy.  I think it is a combination of cold, old, out of shape, and overweight.

I'm going to go back to a combination of heart rate training and pace training.  I will do my recovery runs and long runs using the HRM.  Other runs are going to be using the Garmin pace calculator.  I was just running too slow doing heart rate training and it was very depressing.

So - for the remainder of February, I will run M/W/F for 5 miles keeping my pace under 12 MM.

5 miles - 57:27 avg: 11:29     11:36/11:34/11:26/11:14/11:36

I leave on Friday to see my daughter and family in Savannah, Georgia and return on February 22nd.  Then I will be in Livonia, Michigan from March 1st-4th.
