Goals
A recent discussion reminded me of the importance of goals. Since Boston, I've been a bit aimless, so I decided to establish two short-term running goals:
Run a 5K in under 20 minutes.
Requalify for Boston this fall or winter.
While these two goals may seem very divergent, the first should be a very short term one, likely requiring only about 4 weeks of fast running to achieve, once that's done, prepping for a fall marathon becomes the primary goal. Thus, there is little conflict between the two.
Remember, a goal without a schedule is just a dream.

Howdy! WOW!! A sub 20 minute 5k is really FAST! What is your current 5k PR? Happy trails, Bruce
Where does the Boiler Maker fit into your plan? I thought you were running that as a goal race too.
Any chance I'll see you in Philly this fall?
Opps, that last post was me.
