Ironmans are serious business. My goals are more pedestrian.<BR/><BR/>I have complete confidence in Jim's workouts. He has upteen years of training from guys like Mike Durkin and Ken Popejoy, not to mention quite a few years of coaching at the collegiate level. How it all works down to my level, at this time, is yet to be seen, but I am sure if I stay healthy and do what I should, the rest will happen.<BR/><BR/>It was good to see how you've trained, and how you recovered after a long lay off. Good times followed.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342852760288011089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082514471629452524.post-84463238373303542302007-05-07T21:40:00.000-05:002007-05-07T21:40:00.000-05:00Who knew you were a runner guy!

Jim's track and tempo workouts (and a heck of a lot of other running and coaching) have made me "decent" for my age group - at least got me to Boston 4X and formed the base for nine Ironman race finishes. You can do it!<BR/><BR/>For another blog, albeit infrequnently posted and less frequently viewed, go to http://leepublish.typepad.com/races/.<BR/><BR/>See you Thursday.<BR/><BR/>LeeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900645797958235197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082514471629452524.post-35306918098763281942007-05-07T12:27:00.000-05:002007-05-07T12:27:00.000-05:00Thanks Rich. Rebirth might be too strong a term, b...Thanks Rich. Rebirth might be too strong a term, but I am eager.<BR/><BR/>I did have a great time Thursday. You're a good bunch - I enjoyed the welcome, and seeing the congeniality everyone has.<BR/><BR/>I have goals, but none are based in anything substantial. Rather, I pulled them out of a hat.<BR/><BR/>In the short run (no pun intended), I just hope to keep up with you guys.<BR/><BR/>The thing I would love most is to enjoy a good long run.<BR/><BR/>Beyond that, I want a sub-20 5K. It would be nice to do that this summer. A combination of steady LSD, a bit of fartlek, and Jim's workout might do the job.<BR/><BR/>I want to do a marathon. I need a 3:20:59 to qualify for Boston, and see that as farther off.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342852760288011089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082514471629452524.post-63942435694846799422007-05-07T11:15:00.000-05:002007-05-07T11:15:00.000-05:00Hey!You ran a great workout on Thursday.

I wager that before long you'll be mixing it up with the faster group and having a great time... not that you didn't have a great time this last Thurs eve.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to your running rebirth.<BR/><BR/>richRich Flansburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01370296089937252359noreply@blogger.com
