Figure about six weeks before I run again. And those runs will be light and easy and on level ground — which I must locate.
From Jan. 1 to Sept. 7, 2008 I ran 888.4 miles. That tops my previous high mileage year, 1986, when I ran 768 miles in a comparable period.
Eugene saw me lower my marathon pace from 9:59 to 9:10. A successful CIM would've seen me drop pace an additional 35 seconds to 8:35. That's a hefty chunk o' time to lop off a marathon in one year.
After I achieve a goal, the next one always seems so doable. Determined to better my 2005 marathon, I got injured and struggled 13 months to beat my old time.
Injured again in 2007, it took me 16 months to set a new pr in Eugene. (Though I did run a marathon in between.)
In May, I'd already set my next goal. But now, as before, I've built upon my running injury resume.
There's an injury clinic for coaches next week at Doc Smith's place.
I've been asked to model.
