Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

Huh? What's a 2 mile fartlek? Is this runner terminology for something I have yet to learn? At least you did something today. I just noticed all your shoes have a lot lower mileage than mine.

fartlek is a Swedish term that means, when you jog or walk for a minute or whatever and then sprint for a bit. Its basically speed work. But I did it bc I was hot and bored mostly. It was just to change it up. And my shoes were new on July 4th. I wore them the first time on the Centerville 5k. So yes, they have much less mileage than yours.

I know when you got your new shoes. I was noticing the others. Just thinking mine are going to be on the very high end for this marathon. Oh well.
