Short-Term Running Goals:

Short term, I hope to regain the fitness I have lost over the past few years, and while probably not breaking any of my records above, at least be able to get down in the vicinity of them again.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Maintain a healthy lifestyle, so that I can live a long and happy life.  Also, introduce my daughters to a healthy lifestyle, so that they don't become a number in the obesity epidemic that everyone is talking about.

Personal:

I have been married since 2000, with two beautiful daughters born in 2003 and 2006.

It was pouring down rain this morning, so I slept in an extra hour.  Am going to the Y at lunch to run on the treadmill (I hate treadmills) for a few miles to break in my new pair of 1062s.

Oops, didn't run the course I thought I was this morning.  Intended to go out for about 7.5 miles, but when I ended up back at the house in 48:42, I knew something was amiss.  Checked the distance at USATF's website, and found out it was really only 5.8 miles.  Oh well.

It was quite a nasty morning out today.  It was 41 when I left the house, and the roads were a bit damp.  Just past halfway, and also about a mile past where I could have turned to cut my run short, it started coming down in a steady light rain.  I absolutely hate running in rain, and cold rain is usually avoided at all costs.

Planning to go to the gym at lunch today to lift some weights, do some stretching and core exercise.

Best of running to everyone this week.
