Half Marathon: 1:34

Honestly, I need to get my PR's compiled. This is something I started a year ago and then lost my file. I have them on my old computer but need to dig them out. There is still more I need to find.

Short-Term Running Goals:

February 1st: Frosty 5k
February 22nd: Run for the Cookies
April 6th: Scranton Half Marathon (with Wes)
July 19th: New York Giants Run of Champions
October: Gettysburg Half Marathon

On top of some races, need to lose some weight to get to a good competition weight and also need to get rid of all my injuries. I would also like to drop my times

This year I would also like to hit 1000 miles during the year.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I think that eventually I would like to qualify for Boston. That is something that weighs on me but not as bad as not completing a marathon. Think I will take the approach of trying to complete a marathon within the next 3 years and then we will see after that.

I also want to keep dropping my times and stay competitive in age groups and get competitive overall.

Personal:

I am 29 years old, soon to be 30 and I have the best most supportive wife (Courtney) and we just had our first child (Isaac) in December. I ran track most of high school and one year of Cross Country. I then went to college where I ran for a year on the college team. Since then I have been trying to get myself back on track with my running, I run more days then not but I have not been able to have one year without some type of injury. I would really like to get back to being injury free and a competitive runner.

Total Distance

8.00

1:03.51. This was a very speedy run. It was rainy and it was cool which allowed me to get through this quick and strong. I hope that all the training I am doing for the marathon pays off for the half marathon. I think that all the training will in fact be more helpful for the half then the full. Again, the goal is to finish the full in under 4 hours which might be a stretch after seeing last year's winning time. I think that there are lots of hills, obstacles and on a trail which will slow down the time some. I just hope to do well and that will make me happy. I want to focus on time when it comes to the half. I am hoping to beat my best time of 1:34.

While my time today was good, I have a bit to go to bring it down to a 1:34. Let's focus on the marathon first then go after that half.

Good day, cannot complain about this run. Let's just hope everything stays together.
