Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter.  The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance.  Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters.

Personal:

I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities.

Ran around Z lake, named for its shape, not because we have 25 other lakes.  Lots of people showed up.  Lots of people faster than me.  I could see all of them ahead of me on the other side of the lake. 

The first 1000 people got a t-shirt.  I'm not sure if 1000 people showed up.  I do know that I did not come in 1001st place, though.

I don't think we've got a handle on converting to the metric system.  4.15 miles does not equal 7k.  I was thankful for it being short.

Woke up at 0400 to run 8 with SFC Brown.  He's much faster than me and I've been slacking lately.  Running during the cool part of the day makes quite a difference.  I may have to start going to bed earlier.

Wouldn't you know... today's workout of the day is sprints.

4x800 with 50 squats after each run.  9:22 pace including the squats.

0430 tempo with Brown

Left my shoes at the office, so I had to pick them up before the run.  The staff duty officer woke with a start from his "post" on the lobby couch.  Good thing I'm not a tattle.

Started out in front and just kept getting passed. 

Saddam had some hills made with the earth dug up from his man-made lakes.  The race ended by climbing one. 

I really need to start some hill work, because that killed me at the end.
