Running Accomplishments:

I am running regularly for the first time since high school.  Any personal bests and accomplishments are in the distant past.

Short-Term Running Goals:

I am currently trying to build a good mileage base and achieve a level of fitness that will enable me to run every morning and not feel like I just got out of surgery the rest of the day.  I am approximately 20 pounds overweight, so weight loss because of and in support of the running is important as well.

I would like to complete a 10k in under 50 minutes, a 5k in under 24 mintues, and possibly run a half-marathon during the next two years.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Eventually, I would like to run a marathon spend time running races around the country.  My main goal, however, is to achieve and maintain a consistent and fun running lifestyle.

My legs felt weak from the start.  Still shaking whatever I had last week.  Felt better than yesterday, but maybe that is because I ran slower.  I got into a groove during miles 5 and 6, and just rode that.  8 miles at 9:34, so I am getting slower.  By this time next year, if I keep regressing at this pace, I will be able to run a 5k in 21.  Hours.
