Recent races: St. George Marathon, Olympic Trials Marathon, Moab 5 miler. 

Short-Term Running Goals:

I want to run faster. I'd like to win a race or two. I want to smarter and harder and increase my mileage without increasing my injuries. 

I'd also like to keep up with this and my other blog. You can check it out at novicexpert.blogspot.com. I don't keep track of my workouts there (just random thoughts on running), so the two don't really interfere.  

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to win at least one marathon, make a better showing at the next Olympic Trials, try a few ultra-marathons and finish a 100-miler.

Personal:

I lead a simple life. I teach a couple of times a week and run. A lot. I also climb and ski (both snow and water) whenever I get a chance.  I think I'm addicted to sunshine.

Good run today. Three mile warm up, ten mile tempo, three mile cool down. I wasn't as tired as I expected to be given my mileage the past couple of weeks, which is encouraging since I'd like to keep the  mileage high (yes, with scheduled "rest" weeks of lower mileage). 

The thing I've found curious lately is my asthma. I must not have trained very hard in the past few months because I never really noticed it. I could run hills and be fine, but recently and especially today it gave me trouble. I think I need to go back to my dr because she gave me the prescription I like on the condition that I not use it more than once or twice a week. I used to never use the stuff (as I seemingly never ran hard), but I'd like to use it more. I didn't today (hence the trouble breathing up a few hills). Yes, must make note to see her again when I'm in Salt Lake. Pooh Pooh on breathing.
