Its been a few weeks since I have posted. Lifes has been busey and never got around to updating my blog. I have run a few races since my last post, Midwest Snowshoe Champioships, and the Human Race 8k in St. Paul, Mn. The fact there was snow for the snowshoe race in Cable, WI was amazing. It was only my 4th time on my snowshoes all year. The course was groomed but the slushy snow made for a tough 10k and I had to settle for 3rd about 2mins behind thw winner and 50secs behind my friend Jim Felling. I ran about 2mins faster than last year on the same course so that wasa plus. The good from the weekend was winning the 4x3k, having the fastest split of the afternoon, and having a good time with my friends.
The second race a week later did not go as plan. 80 degrees and windy on Sunday in March doesn't always make for teh best race conditions. Mentaly never was in teh race and just kinda went through the motions. I have realized over the last week that you have to shoot for a goal race or races inorder to give your training some directions and focus. Otherwise all you are doing is running into a foggy haze with no bright light house in sight. I have come up with some goals for the rest of 2012.
Goals
5k - 15:25
10k - low 33 or sub 33
Run a solid 50k
Run 2:35 marathon
Within the the next week to 10 days I am going to pick some goals races to focus my training towards. Until then keep running
