Goal Type:

Boston Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

No accomplishments yet. Just started running since last week. Still getting used to all the pounding from running.

Short-Term Running Goals:

I hope to qualify for Boston Marathon in about two years time. Not sure if I can make it by 2010, but that would be sweet if I could.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Don't have a long term plan yet. I need to see how I respond to training. 

Personal:

30 years old, male, IT consultant. Just started training for marathon. Don't listen to music while running. I bike on weekends. Like to hang out under the sun, moon & stars. Planning on learning swimming sometime soon. Then my weekends would be perfect, run, bike & swim!  Have managed to cut smoking to 3.5 smokes a day.

Was hoping to get in some easy run today. But my knees are a lil sore from Sunday's run. So I just walked for a while for 1:47 hrs. Hope my knee gets better by Thursday when I am planning to run b/w 3.5-5.0 miles.

Took me 42 mins at about 12 minutes/mile. Going easy for now till I get used to all the pounding from running. Got meself brand spanking new Asics 2140. Feels nice. No muscular pains. Right knee hurts a little. This will keep me from running for atleast a few day. Hope to be fit by Thursday. Was planning to go for 3 miles. Ended up with 3.6. I'll take that. Would have been better without the joint pain :)
