Uptown...Today has been a good day. It is a very nice feeling to have the last respective class of the quarter happening today and tomorrow. This has been a very odd quarter in terms of motivation and pace. I am sort of looking forward to seeing it go away.
I talked to Rodrick (a guy I met through Caitlin) today about training for triathlons or maybe half marathons/full marathons. It has always been my goal to do all of the above sometime in my life but I feel like I could be a really good marathon runner. My loftiest goal would be to one day be able to qualify for the Boston Marathon (one must run a marathon at 3:10:59 which is about a 7:17 mile pace for 26 miles) so I have a long way to go. My latest long run wasn't too far off that goal -- I ran 8 miles in 0:59:57 which is a pace of about 7:29 per mile. I'll plan on getting my pacing faster in the short run -- train at the goal of running a half marathon at the 7:00 minute mile pace (1:31:45) and then keep on adding distance to where I could run that fast for 20 + miles. I am in no hurry so I will be careful not to increase mileage too fast. Once break starts, I am going to get into a routine. I am pumped.
I keep taking pictures but I just don't have time to upload them, edit them, file them, and post them. I'll get to that sometime in the not so distant future.
