Boston Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

I've run 19 marathons, included in that are two just barely ultras the Saskatchewan Ultra 50k (the first at 5:30, the second at 5:15). My personal best at the marathon 3:48. Most fun might have been my first marathon Columbus in 1997 (or was it 1998?) at 3:52.

Short-Term Running Goals:

I'd like to qualify for Boston in one year (3:30 for a 52 year old). I think of this as jogger learns to run. I can trundle at a slow speed forever. With little training I have done lots of 4:15 marathons. But even trying my hardest I haven't been fast (I thought I poured my heart into doing a 3:48). To run a fast marathon would be a totally new way of thinking and running. It would be amazing.

Long-Term Running Goals:

After my first marathon, I promised myself I'd run 25 in my life time.

Ooops. Hit a bump. I was shooting for a 5:20 minutes per kilometer pace for 8k. And did great until a large hill on the route and then I had to watch my watch slowly climb from 5:29 all the way up to 5:43 by the time I slowly came home. Oh well. Two days off (I teach a night class tonight and Friday morning is swimming). We'll see what Saturday looks like.

8 k at a 5:32 minutes per kilometer pace.

Tomorrow I've got another 8k run and I'll try a 5:20 pace. Although these are all Easy Miles (My marathon pace will have to be 5:00 minutes per kilometer to qualify for Boston), for me it will be challenging to speed up. As someone who has done slow miles for years this getting quicker will be...well interesting.
