Short-Term Running Goals:

I've been a very active runner since High School ( I usually run 5-6 days a week) but I have yet to run a Marathon or any other competitive race since then. I want to get back into competitive running and hopefully have similar results like in High School. Although, last January 09 I got shin splints really bad and it took a good 6 months of rest and rehab to finally get back in the groove. I would like to run a sub 8 minute mile on my first Marathon but maybe I should just worry about finishing it first?   

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

Personal:

I'm 42 years old and I'm married! I enjoy the outdoors (Hunting, Camping, Backpacking)

Hey, just lurking at the end of a long day at work and bumped into your page. Judging from your recent workouts, my guess is that you may want to revise your goals for your first marathon. You're a lot faster than a 3:30 marathoner. If you inject some speed work into your marathon program, my bet is that you'll BQ your first time out with time to spare. Enjoy the return to competitive running!

Besides adding tempo running into my schedule I do plan on doing some interval training. It would be awesome if I could qualify for Boston on my first try. I'm still kind of weary about getting shin splints again but everything has been good the last couple of weeks. Thanks for the advice!
