Short-Term Running Goals:

I would like to achieve the following in the next two years with my running:

--run a spring and fall marathon each year, taking 10 minutes off my time each time for the following goals:

Spring 2013: 3:25  Fall 2013: 3:15  Spring 2014: 3:05 -- such that I am set up to run in Boston Spring of 2015.

--I would love to run a 17:xx 5K once in my lifetime, but I do not know if I have the natural speed for this, nor do I have a reasonable plan for this.

--I would like to break a 19:30 5K this Fall (2012).

Wasn't feeling it; I think my weight lifting and my running are getting in each other's way.  I feel the beginning of overtraining coming on.

Recovery run along the lakefront path.  North wind at 20-25 mph made for tough going outbound.  Pace about 9:30, but I'll have a better fix on things once I get my Garmin, which should be coming today!!
