Running Accomplishments:

I once ran a 5M race at 7:28 pace. That was 15 years ago.


Starting September 2010 my PRs are:

3M: 26:38 25:44

Short-Term Running Goals:

I'd like to be able to run long distances 10+ miles at under a 10:00 pace.

I'd like to run short distances at an 8:00 pace.

I'd like to convince my dog to run at my pace, not his.

As I have begun to run consistently these last three months and am really enjoying the process & progress, I'll set these goals:

5K: <25:00

Marathon: <4:00:00

Beautiful day along the Great Highway: grey and over cast but no wind so no chop and the surfers looked like the were bobbing in mercury.

Easy early morning run with Hugo. He didn't really cooperate the first half, fine the second. Ran with my new Nike Lunar Glides, which I bought after Asics made the DS 16s kind of soft compared to the DS-15s, which suited me so well, especially for longer runs. The Nikes do seem firmer and a little heavier, but no problems so far. My right knee has been a tweaking a little.

No miles today, other than the two minutes of treadmill during Total Body Fitness class at CPMC. The class consists of different stations, each targeting a specific muscle group. You perform each exercise intensely for one minute before switching to the next, while the instructor barks out time and walks around, making corrections to form and technique.

Weather kind of nasty and had a pretty good tail wind for the first few miles, but it was pretty stiff going back with sand and salt water in face on the way back. I kind of like the bad weather to run in, once I get out there: it makes me feel like I am actually achieving something because I could be home warm and dry.

On the down side, my right knee has been bothering me for more than a couple of weeks now and is painful today (Monday) as I write this. I think it may have to do with muscle tightness so I will have to make sure I stretch today.

I started a class this past weekend at CPMC that was recommended to me by my PT: Total Body Fitness. More like Total Body Soreness! But I think I will buy a ten class pass and do that every Saturday. They also offer gait analysis and make recommendations for corrections with follow up visits. I may give this a try, because since the accident, I have had one little injury after a another and it is keeping me from running and enjoying it as much as I used to.

UCSF also offers a similar thing but from the look of it, it is more comprehensive and includes running with a small group. The waiting list is at least 6 months long, but I put myself on it and will see when my turn comes up. They also do a full body analysis as well, including VO2 Max, body comp, et al.
