Running Accomplishments:

Kinda consistently running since 07 

Short-Term Running Goals:

5k in 18:00; 10k in 40:00

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.

Antonio wanted to do 7:30s, I wanted to do 8:30s. 

We compromised at 7:38.  Apparently he argues better than me.

Woke up on time, but I went to the wrong place to meet Antonio at 0430.  Planned on a slow 8, but saw that they were setting up a race and registered.  Antonio showed up there too.

Started a couple minutes late, due to lines at the port-a-john.  It was a weird experience.  Starting so late, you end up passing people throughout the race.  I liked it.  It made me feel like I was accomplishing something.  Usually I'm stuck in a pack and struggle to maintain pace.

Hill sprints

10x200

Pace ranged from 4:55  to 6:47, avg 5:42

The fast one was a result of someone getting in the way of Antonio giving me a lead for once.  I struggled to maintain it, but he caught up anyway.

The slow one was a result of me listening to my body.  It is very persuasive.

91F, 15% hum, 4.6 mph winds, clearer than usual
