3/23/13 Savin Rock 1/2M 1:41:59 

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Run a 5K under 25 minutes.  Under 22 minutes.  Under 20 minutes.  Run a 10K in under 45 minutes.  Run a 1/2M in 90 minutes.

 

 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run faster and farther... without major injuries.  The predictable soreness in my right knee reminds me of how irrational this form of exercise is, I bought a pair of Five Fingers and my knees have never felt better.  I'm now faster than I was during my 20s and 30s.

Achilles tendonitis or tendonosis is my latest injury.  The Five Fingers have been turned in and I'm back my old kicks with lots of heel support.

Personal:

I'm married, teach economics at a liberal arts school in RI, conduct research on American Indian economic development, trying to befriend a goat farmer, and looking to improve my espanol. Expecting our first child in mid October (check)!!  His name is Tucker.

Too cold for the outdoors, but I managed to walk to my car and drive to the y.

6 miles, 8:57 pace (last mile 8 mph), 1.5%, Weight - 182.6

Drove to Costco with Tucker and Willa.  It may be just me but I don't see the mass appeal of their bakery.  It's just sheet cake people.

6 troller miles with Tucker.  I still haven't picked the best jogging strategy with the stroller.  Push ahead and catch up?  One-handed?  One-handed from the side?  Both hands?  Someone must know the answer.

8 miles in a slight rain.  Started slow and ended slow but I picked it up in the middle.  

I was wondering what people think about when they run?  I know what Murakami has to say about that topic but I wonder what the bloggers think?

 

8:40 pace.
