Short-Term Running Goals:

On my way back.  Injuries and law school have taken their toll, but things are great now.  I've been logging mileage trying to build back to the 90s-100s.  No specific race goals right now, but I'm trying to race more.  I will re-examine in Spring.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Sub-2:30 Marathon.  

Personal:

I am currently attending Law School at St. Louis University--in my last semester.  I am not married, but dating a wonderful girl named Michelle.  I love playing piano and acting--in musicals.

Miserable cold....So I hit the track.  I did "rep" work (90% effort short intervals) just over 2 miles worth.  They felt good.  It was nice to run indoors on a day like today.

Long excruciatingly slow run--in the cold.  Only started to loosen up in the last 2-3 miles.  Glad that it is over with today.

"Cruise Intervals" today.  5 x 850m.  Mile pace for the intervals: 5:36, 5:27, 5:26, 5:15: 5:12

 Felt pretty good.  Short rest inbetween 1:00 to 1:10.  Ready to race again to try to improve on the "new" PRs.

SLOW easy run.  Felt a bit beat up from yesterday.  A touch of a cold as well.

Had to run indoors due to a lot of snow, but I got on the indoor track and did a few easy threshold surges.  Felt pretty good.  Still pretty congested, but glad to get going again.
