The One With the Goal

I've  decided that it will be my life's goal (workout wise anyway) to qualify for Boston.  I've been talking to John about this for a while, but I figure if I throw it out there in public, then people will really expect this of me too...and it never hurts to have an extra push, especially when you really don't feel like doing the workout!   I'm not super-fast right now, but I really think I can push myself really hard, and maybe do it in the next few years? Yes.  I can...  I've found a couple plans, and talked to a couple super-fast runners who have taken a lot of time off of their marathon time, and now I'm off to start conquering the world races.  Apparently, it's all about speed training...oh, and that whole endurance thing.  

Last night, I did 400's.  I did my warm up mile a little too fast (being that I was all pumped up about this new, faster me) and that's never good when it's 4:30pm in Florida with 90*F++++ temperatures and 90% humidity.  Didn't you hear?  Summer decided to kick spring's ass and come early this year...yay us!  

By the end of the workout, I was dying, holding back puke, and wanted to just lay down.  That didn't exactly happen, because I had to leave for a softball game right afterwards.  And then some unforeseen events caused us to get home really late.  (It's tough to want to workout when you're exhausted.)  I still haven't gotten a chance to look at the trusty ole Garmin to see what my times were.  I do remember looking down a couple times and seeing my pace was at 7:00/mile when I was doing the sprints though.  Hopefully this is the start of something beautiful!
