My new goal is to get back to where I was a few years ago; running mainly for enjoyment (and not just to reach a specific time standard) and to reach the highest level of fitness/speed that I feel is possible for me while maintaining a balanced lifestyle.

Conquer the last 10k of The Marathon.

Going to give this running blog a try in hopes that checking in on R.M. occasionally will inspire me like it used to! been using athleticore, but they don't have spell check. I like all these options. So, first entry kinda boring.

Kelsey/Shuler loop. easy. strides & drills. hope to feel more rested for tomorrow's Thunderheads Triplehump long run.

Met Michael at 6:15am  for a 5mi warm up before meeting the guys(Boris, Tom, Eric, Adam) for Triplehump. Except for trailing behind on the beginning hills, I maintained the pace easily. a few measured miles on the Skunk course at 7/mi. Glad that that pace feels like jogging again. best run I've had in ages. shin only slightly painful.

5:30pm, CU track.  
In the company of  joggers and 4 CU guys doing the same workout(but faster) they had lane 1, I took lane 2.
2mi wu, 4 sets 4 x 400m/200m rec, 2min between sets, 20min cd + foot drills
85, 84, 84, 85/ 86, 85, 85, 84/ 85, 85, 85, 85/ 85, 80, 80, 84
(the 80's were unnecessarily fast(but way fun) w/one of the guys)
JK says to forget the watch and simply run 16-20 comfortably fast "fartlek-like 400's". That was exactly what this workout was. not too hard, not overworking, just good fun speed-play. 20 would have been too many this time and faster would have hurt. Not sure if I want to do more or do them faster next time. I think my shins and back benefitted from taking the morning off.

A.M.  ug. so tired this morning. Kelsey/Gaige loop(6). very slow.

P.M. Filmore State Park, Forge the Gorge trail race, short loop(4mi) w/Anna(9), then 2mi looking for Billy(10) who missed the short loop turn and ended up running the long race(7mi?), 2mi back w/Billy(hard to keep up!) Actually covered @8mi but much of it was hiking with Anna.
