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. |

| I decided at noon on Sunday to run in my local 5K. This was my second run in three weeks as I never jogged during a great three-week trip to San Pedro, Guatemala. I was hoping that all that walking in San Pedro plus the high attitude would propel me through this 5K. So, I ran the 5K in 25:24 (avg. 8:16/mi). I think I beat my PR by 1 second. Ha. I didn't bring my garmin but my first mile was roughly a 7:10/mi. I haven't pulled a stunt like that in a race in years. That's ridiculously fast for me. So the plan is to run a 5K under 25 minutes. Baby steps, Matt

| 5 miles around the hills of Westville. My first mile was a 9:30 min/mi and the last was 7:58 min/mi. I've been running exclusively in my FiveFingers for the last two months and my knees, namely the right one, have never felt better. I'm cautiously optimistic that I can increase my weekly running load a bit without sustaining an injury. So, in short, I'm loving barefoot running. | | Add Comment |

| Ran 7x400m with a light one lap jog between each 400. My wife joined me which was a pleasant surprise. Besides some strong gusts, the weather was a perfectly compatible for some sprinting. | | Add Comment |

| The goal was 2 slow miles and a practice 5K at a fast pace; however, my legs only wanted to run 3 easy miles (AP of 8:30). | | Add Comment |

| I ran 3.1 hard (for me) miles at an AP of 7:39. If I want to get faster, I think I need to commit to more regular core conditioning. My abs seem to burn more than my legs when I pick up the pace. Unfortunately, I'm terrible at engaging my core and all that other stuff involved with pilates and/or joga.
