Running Accomplishments:

I have only started running as a sport approximately 2 years ago. So far, my 5K PR is 24:23, my 10K PR is 50:02 and my 1/2 Marathon PR is a 1:55. I'm thinking about taking the marathon plunge, but not quite there yet!

Short-Term Running Goals:

My goals for the next two years: 10K under 48:00 minutes, 1/2 marathon under 1:45 and to complete a 1/2 Ironman.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Not quite sure, other than to remain injury free and healthy. I'm sure there will be a marathon thrown in there somewhere and perhaps even a full Ironman. I'll keep you updated.

Personal:

As for me personally, I recently left a wonderful community of running partners and friends back in Phoenix to start a new job in San Diego. Getting motivated and into a consistent routine has been difficult, but things are settling down. I now realize the importance of having training partners!

 I can get bored easily, so I tend to mix up my workouts often. I am a big believer in cross-training, if nothing else, to break up the monotony of running. I always welcome tips and comments and any extra motivation that anyone may be willing to give!

Total Distance
6.00

Well, I had planned on participating in the AIDS Walk/Run 10K, but due to a power outage, I slept in a little too long. Instead, I did my own 6 mile loop along the harbor (much more scenic than Balboa park, in my mind, not to mention, free!). In hindsight, I am glad that I did not do the 10K, b/c today was very difficult and my calves were tight. I've never had this problem before, so I'm going to rest tomorrow. Monday is typically my day off, too. My 6 miles took me 52:06, and my split was only negative by 2 seconds! I certainly have my work cut out for me if I want to PR in the Silver Strand Half in November!

Welcome to the blog. Finally something to comment on. I need to add a feature that allows people to comment on the blog in general, not just on an entry. That way, when a shy runner appears, we can comment before he puts in any entries.

We will watch your training for the next couple of weeks, then there will be enough data to offer suggestions.

Wow Mandy - you run fast. I do 6 miles in about 54-55 miniutes.
