Monday, August 30

I'm finally back on track with running. After my long hiatus with only a few runs in SC at the end of July, we moved to Louisville, KY, and I haven't started training here for about another two weeks. Then finally, two weeks ago, I did my first consistent week in a while with 20 miles total and I did a 25-mile week last week. Now I'm ready to start Pfitzinger's Schedule B again, which is a 12-week program peaking at around 33 miles.

My goal race is the 5th Annual Harvest 5K on November 20. I'm really just evaluating my form right now, but I sure hope I can have a shot at a sub-20. This goal is now getting old, I want the monkey off my back.

Nevertheless, I think I will probably stick to shorter races (possibly venturing to 10K territory) for the spring and early summer, because there is a 5K trail series in the KY State Park system, and it wouldn't be too bad to get some results. I'll see if I can do that and work toward a sub-41 10K in the same time. Provided that I'll have my sub-20 5K by then.
