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. |

| 3.5 miles outside a 8:00 AP pace. Beautiful day. I'm finally seeing a sports medicine doc on Monday so I should have a better idea about my achilles tendon soon. | | Add Comment |

| Another short and slow 3 mile day. Cross training will start up on the weekend. My goal is to pick a 16-week triathlon program which will force me to swim and bike more. Doc thinks another 6 weeks until the heel pain will completely dissipate. | | Add Comment |

| First five miler since my achilles tendon injury. I'm not cross training so my physical therapist is going to kill me. Run was slow (8:30/mi pace) but fun. First good sweat in a while. | | Add Comment |

| I'm in Baltimore for the next 4 days at an economic history conference. Ran 5 treadmill miles on the hotel's gym. AP= 6.8 mph. Slowing but surely I'll get back in running shape. | | Add Comment |

| Cross-training day: swam about 800m, then water jogged with a life jacket on (so embarrassing), and then worked the stepmill for 35 minutes. | | Add Comment |

| 4 miles at 7.0 mph and 2 at 6.5 mph. My achilles is still sore after these workouts but the pain seems pretty localized. With that said, this was the first good week of workouts in the last two months. | | Add Comment |

| 6 outdoor, slow miles. I'm trying to maintain 30 miles/week while doing a (insert: minimum) amount of cross-training. My achilles is still sore but doesn't hurt once it's loose and warmed up. It's now a dull pain, which is much better situation than two/three months ago. | | Add Comment |
