Want to move beyond slowing my way around

Found my stats at athlinks and added it to my page elements. Need to be more consistent with my training as I've really learned that runnig is really all about running. You don't just get it and keep it cause you had it once.

Here is my long term goal: to complete my bayshore half-marathon at an average of 10 minute miles, to complete the 10K trail race at an average of 9 minute miles at Grand Island this summer.

So short term training goals:
I’m doing a tempo run tonight. I did it!!! went to yoga for an hour and then ran 2.87 without stopping and without feeling too out of breath
Long run Tuesday. nope-- read a book a student gave me instead: "Bloody Sunday" about the Irish revolution in 1916-1920's
Speed work Wed. Nope. Did my Tuesday run-- four miles felt awesome--could have gone more but knew Mark made dinner.
Long run Thursday w/TNR-- nope. Kris, good friend who moved to Las Vegas in town for one night. I am about to go meet her tonight (it is now April 10)
Yoga Friday. Plan to! Nope-- met up with friends instead--saw some of my old roommates from Ireland
super long run—11 miler on Saturday at Stoney. This is a definite, but saw on the schedule that I only have to do 10 miles. Nope, slept in till 9 or so. Spent the day doing errands and cleaning the house like mad

Think will squeeze in the requisite sports massage in there sometime—probably after my super long run on Saturday. Nope

Sunday (April 13) : Went 8 miles today-- only stopped twice

Okay, to keep you honest I'll be checking the old blog for details of this new plan! Good luck teach.
