Seven Today

Reluctantly getting my ass out on the roads. A slow and uninspired 7 miler. Pace: 7:30. Thoughts that went through my head: what songs will The Who not play at the Superbowl next week.

First run of New Year

Slow 7 miler in the books. Not happy w/it...not happy generally. What will turn this around? Maybe tomorrow will be better. Out.

Start tomorrow(?)

New training regimen begins tomorrow...in theory. Motivation levels are very low and that has got to change. No real plans at this point.

ISO marathon y Oakland

My friend Alex wants me to run the Oakland Marathon in March. I have this goal to run sub-3:00 hours in the marathon for once in my life. In trying to get myself back to where I want to be as a runner and indeed, as a person, this goal is more than just time for me. But here's the conundrum: http://www.oaklandmarathon.com/Race_Information/Marathon.htm Click on the site, look at the course profile. Mostly freaking uphill for the first 10 miles makes me a little (a lot) worried this is not going to be a fast course. This is the first Oakland marathon in 25 years so there is nothing to go by wrt prior results. Thoughts anyone.

INI: Run Time

This? Random thoughts that almost no one will read. Perhaps a waste of time? I hope not. I'm attempting to become a runner again, here in public.
