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.

Total Distance
8.00

Went to bed with and woke up with a fantastic headache.  By the time I started to run, it had subsided.  I pushed the first 4.5 miles hard (for me), and I paid for it in miles 6 and 7.  Mile 8 I pushed hard again, but it is easier with the finish in sight.  9.01 for 8 miles, which is a great run for me.

According to the Jeff C scale, I ran 8 slow, 0 fast.

LOL, good one Frank! I would say you need to rank your fast miles on the fnichols scale. Great run too. You just get better and faster everyday. Your consistancy will pay off big time.
