Back to some Serious Training!!!

Its early morning Tuesday, and I just got a day off yesterday from running.  We are now starting to work on getting ready for The Thunder Road Marathon in November of 2011.  With four half marathons ahead of us, the first one is going to be on March 12th.  The next about a month later being April 30th, which is "The Race for the Land"  half marathon.  I truely haven't decided what my next 5K should be, I've looked at a possible few in January or February.  My goal with any 5K now going forward will be to knock off almost four minutes off my usual time.  Which tends to be around 26 to 28 minutes.  I have to work on getting stronger and faster.  As easy as it might sound, I have a feeling it probably will not be.  I have also decided to discontinue my Blast from the Past series as no one truely reads my blog as it is.  When ever I have more readers I might continue it then. 

Its been a while

Well, Its been a while sense ive posted anything on my blog.  And it is because I focused alot on getting pass my half marathon and achieveing my goals.  In the time that ive been away, I managed to get my hands on the Nike Connect.  It is probably the best investment ive run across sense I started to run.  Anyway, I finished my first half marathon under two hours.  So even with me just enjoying the sights and sounds and being less interested in the time and pace I was running.  I was so happy to finish under that time.  Now comes 2011, and I have several goals that I want to achieve.

1 - Compete in 4 different Half Marathons.  Two Trail and Two Road
           Within theses Marthons I want to be under two hours in each one. 
2 - Compete my first Full Marathon.
3 - Do as many 5K races as possible.
4 - Do as many 10K races as possible.
5 - Do as many 15K races as possible.

The way I attend to achieve my goals with all the above is to train harder and work myself to the point that without a doubt I want to beable to finish a Full Marathon.  After 2011 it is all going to be about speed and increasing the time it takes me to finish each one.  As my total goal overall on a long standing is to beable to do a mile in 5 minutes flat by 2013 and qualify for Boston and NYC.  No telling if I would actually run in either.  Most likely if it is my Destiny.  Anyway this is Richard getting back to my morning workouts.  Thanks for reading up on me.
