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.

Hi Vj, and welcome to the blog. Good luck with your running! And don't worry too much about the "pounding." Your body is made for this. Just stick in a little walk break when you need to and you'll be amazed at the progress.
