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.

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

Forgot my socks so I decided to run in my VFF on the sand.  I avoided the hard packed sand by the water so I wouldn't have to run on a slope.  However the sand on the flat part of the beach was so soft that it sucked the energy out of me, so I ran in the tracks made by the shore patrol trucks.

I had to take the VFFs off and run barefoot after 4 miles.  Sand had gotten in them and was rubbing me raw.

Ray accompanied me.  Everyone else flaked out and went to Yogurtland.

6x800s with 1:30 rest interval

Ave 3:11s.  Slowed way down on the last 2.

During happy hour after work, a friend and I decided to bike the strand.

Later on a pier by myself in the cold dark rain I swore never to make plans with a drunk Irishman.

Dune with the guys.  Started late due to meetings and we were kicked out after our time expired so only seven out of the planned ten sprints were completed.

Afterwards a mile with Sanchez.  He had a few strokes in Nov and is recovering.  He was the one who dared me to run a marathon after knee surgery.  He was with me when I first ran over ten miles.  I think this is the first time I've run with him since the 07 Air Force Marathon. 

It won't be the last.

Running with a group along the strand.  Turns out one of the guys works 3 floors down from me.  Small world.
