up to date

I think I can say I just ended one of the worst summers of running I have ever had. This is very frustrating because last spring I was in good shape and looking foward to a great summer and fall. I had a miserable race at the swanzey half and have only run a handful of times since then. This is going to leave me in probably the worst shape I have ever been in for a marathon. DeMar here I come.

Fri: 6m, 1.5 warmup, 6x400 with 1minute recover, 1.5 cooldown. I haven't done a workout in so long I didn't know what pace to run or how it would feel. I was hoping for 72 -75 seconds. I went to easy on the first one, then got into the groove and blasted the last one feeling like I could have done more. Here are my times. ( 77, 76, 73, 71, 71, 66 )

Wed: 9m am, 3m race in Bratt. pm. 17:19, felt harder though.
Thur: 0
Fri: 9m am, Relay for life from 5:00 pm until 4:00 am. I did alot of walking, not as much as Angella whom walked 17 miles. The story of the night was my 6 year old Jace whom decided to run walk, mostly run over 10 miles. He was plenty active and running from 5:00pm till 1:00am, who knows how many miles he put on, then he decided at 1:00 to start recording his laps. From 1:00 to 3:00 he ran walked the 40 laps on the track. He was pretty beat at that point and the rest of us were ready for bed along time ago. Finally I convinced him to got home with me. Angella came home a couple hours later. Jace never got up till 1:30 in the after noon. Then wanted to run some more. I made him take a day off. Its pretty sad that my 6 year old ran more miles this weekend than I did.

A need to get some consistency

I am still running, for any one whom may be wondering. Although, not as consistent as I would like. I am not in great racing shape, hoping to get there for the fall. I have been running thirty to forty most weeks back and forth to work. I have been slowly picking up the mileage as of the last few weeks with some plans to get back to it this summer. I was in, probably the best shape ever just before christmas and believe it should come back fairly quickly. I would love to get some racing in but just don't know when that will happen. I am looking forward to getting some track work started in a couple of week though, I always love running with the group and am looking foward to getting back to it . My goals for 2012, be able to set pr's at every distance, although probably not until late summer or fall. Big goal is to run a fast marathon, sub 2:50, maybe 2:45. Putting that in writing sounds pretty ambitious, but I think it is obtainable. We'll see. In the mean time I have to go, gotta run!

Still Running

Yes, I'm still here. Things have been going well, just very busy. Running seems to be one of only two consistant things going on. The other is Angella's awesome check-ups. We went to Hanover again last night for her routine scan and check up and everything came back good. Oh Yeah!!
Today I ran from home to work through extreme wind and ice. I love running when the elements are tough. Hope to try to log more regularly. Life is busy.
