Rough Draft

2011 XC Regionals

So, I will be trying this form of expression again.

It's my first summer as a "serious" runner and I currently have one semi-good training cycle to build off of. From December 2012 to May 2013, I trained for the DRC 5-miler with the intent of coming through at a reasonably goal of 30:30. While my prediction was close, I ended up crossing the finish line in 31:02. Seconds are critical in running, and when it comes to breaking sub-whatever, the weight of importance is even greater to me. It's a bit frustrating seeing that time, but I actually learned quite a lot of about training methodology and self-experimentation (statistics, no bullshit), so I can't bellyache much. 

I've just finished writing up a new training program targeted for the Komen 5k here in Dallas. My goal time is still kind of blurry, however, I'm predicting that a 17:10 is in my reach. 

Strip me of my negativity! I will write!
