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).

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!!

I wouldn't worry about wearing a Garmin on recovery runs - tends to make me run faster than I should because I look down and think it's too slow. Kinda defeats the purpose of a recovery run. :-))
