2. 10K (B.A.A. 10K 6/26/11): 54:22.

2/3/13 Run for the Refugees 5K: 21:38
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. |

| 5 1/2 easy miles around the neighborhood. The majority of the sidewards are still unplowed so I ended up inhaling way too much exhaust while running in the bike lane.

| 4 easy miles in the wind (all directions). Some of it was with Tucker in tow but the cold and wind seems too much for the little man.
A worthwhile read on genetics and social mobility:

| speed workoutl on the tread
my goal was 8x600 with 400 recovery but I could only manage 5x600 with 1x400, all at 6:15 pace. I need to develop a need for speed because I give up too easily. Best part of the workout was foam rolling my hams.
