Boston Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

I have only run 2 marathon's in my life.... Grandma's in 2002 and Twin Cities in 2008. I just finished nothing spectacular.... This last year I got the running bug so here we are.... Let's see what happens!

Short-Term Running Goals:

I told myself that I was not going to run anymore Marathon's until I am 50.... Well, that didn't work! I have been talked into signing up for 35th running of Grandma's Marathon on June 18th, 2011... I have had running friends who have qualified for Boston and it has inspired me to see if I could qualify. So I guess we will see how it goes... Wish me luck.....

Long-Term Running Goals:

OK!! Maybe Boston should be my Long-term goal..... hmmm?

Personal:

I am happily Married, with a big dog and no children yet!!!

Ran Swede Hallow with Jessica at noon and the temp has finally warmed up to about 30F. I pulled a muscle in my lower abs to my groin area on the right. I hope this does not affect my running....

I had to take a half day at work today so no running at Noon today. I was able to run today at 5pm so I decided to run 12miles. It sure got cold by that time and it was mainly because of the wind. It took me 1:39:55 to run this 3 four mile loops.

I did my speed workout today at Noon.... Since there is so much snow there is not to many tracks to my 4 X 800's. I marked off a half mile area on the Swede Hallow route to do my 4 X 800's and it worked out good. Here is how it turned out.

 1 mile warmup = 12minutes

  1st 800 = 3:28

  2nd 800 = 3:33

  3rd 800 = 4:01

  4th 800 = 3:30

 1 mile cooldown = 11minutes

 It felt OK, I have not did this type speed work in a long time..... I am glad I did it!!!
