Life happens, and sometimes our goals are put on hold for one reason or another. I took some time off from any serious running.
I figured George Eliot's quote was fitting for a title for this journal. I may be starting over again, but my goal has not changed. That goal is to BQ for Boston and run it. My BQ standard is 3:05:00 for the next 5 years. Now I have been told a goal without a target or objective is just a dream. Below is a list of some short term and long term goals:
1. Run 100 miles in a month.
2. Lose 10 lbs total.
3. Sub 2 Hour Half
4. Run 125 miles in a month.
5. Lose 15 lbs total.
6. Run 150 miles in a month.
7. Run 175 miles in a month.
8. Easy and Long Run pace average below 9:00 min/mi.
9. GA run average pace below 8:30 min/mi.
10. Run 200 miles in a month.
11. Lose 20 lbs total.
12. Lose 30 lbs total
13. A new 5k PR (21:18 Current)
14. A new 10k PR (45:15 Current)
15. A new Half Marathon PR (1:39:28 Current)
16. A new Marathon PR (3:43:37 Current)
17. BQ ~January 2022
18. Run the Boston Marathon
I hope to check these off in the coming months and years as well as add new ones along the way. I will also track weight here as well. All of that time off has added a few pounds. I will keep a tracker of sorts at the bottom of this post. I will post from time to time as needed about my training, my ups and downs, and who knows what else.
Start / Current / Goal
240.8 / 231.8 / 210 = 9lbs
1/19/19 - 2/8/19 - 9/1/19 = ~3 weeks
Edit to Add:
Some abbreviations I will use to describe runs.
R - Recovery Run
GA - General Aerobic Run
MLR - Medium Long Run
LR - Long Run
MPR - Marathon Pace Run
SW - Speed Work
Later SW will be replaced with two different type of run. VO2max and Lactate Threshold runs.
