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 haven't blogged in a while, so I'm going to get back into that habit of recording my progress. An achilles tendon injury back in March has set back my running plans substantially. I have rest, biking, crossfit all a try and still find myself most interested in running. I've been running off and on for two months but I signed up for a 5K in mid Dec so I'm planning on getting back on that horse and start training. Week 1 started with a 4 miler today at 8:50 AP. My goal is get my keep my mileage low (20-25 miles per week) but include 2 speedouts/week until mid Dec.

| 4.5 miles at 9:04 AP along the bikepath. An unusually warm day in RI. Tomorrow afternoon will involve some sprintwork which will be a nice change of pace.

| 4 miles @ 8:45 AP. I got wrapped up in child rearing from Wednesday to Saturday so I missed a bunch of planned runs. I run around the track tomorrow though.

| 4 miles, mostly in the dark at AP of 8:30/mi. First two miles: 7:55 and 7:56, so that's exciting.

| 6 miles. Mile two was the fastest at 8:25. First >5 mile jog since June 10th. I can't completely understand why my achilles tendinitis hasn't been an issue since mid-Sept., but I'll take it. Maybe that it was the 100,00+ heel drops.
avg pace 8:45

| Took three days off from exercising which was not planned but I'm happy with my 55 minute bike ride and a slow 4 miler.
