Fall training going well

I haven't written in quite a while, so here goes. The national meet in Sacramento was ok for the long jump and hurdles, but the high jump was a bomb again. I'm not sure what happened to my timing in the HJ, but hopefully I'll get it back.
I won the long jump, however, for the third year in a row, so I can't complain about that. I wasn't jumping that great, but my first jump of 6.16 was long enough. The weather was extremely hot, so between that and a rising headwind during the competition, I couldn't go any farther. The hurdles were good, my time of 15.82 got me third and was a good time into a headwind as well. I lost my balance over the first hurdle a little and the other guys were way ahead to the 5th hurdle, but then I got a little turbo boost and almost caught them by the end. If it had been a 150 meter hurdles, I would have won(15 hurdles? that would be hard!!). I really have to work on my start to the second hurdle for next year. If I can get that smooth and fast, I should be able to take a few tenths out of my time.
So now I'm hot and heavy into training for next season, and what's nice is that I feel like I'm picking up where I left off back in July, not starting from scratch like usual due to injuries. I'm running cross country with my daughter's high school team, so my distance fitness base should be very good by the end of the month. If I can build from there without major injury, I should be able to make a real running improvement next season. I've thrown in some hurdling and long jumping and short fast sprints as well, and it's all been pretty easy.
I got a new diagnosis for my shoulder which led to a cortisone shot in a different spot, so maybe I'll get back the full strength there. It barely hurts at all now which is good, but I don't have a lot of confidence that it'll stay like that. At this point my goal is to do the indoor pentathlon at the National Masters meet in Albuquerque in March, but as to whether I'll do another decathlon, I just don't know yet. If my shoulder holds up, it be hard for me not to stick with it and do another one...
In the meantime, here are my goals for the indoor pentathlon in March:
8.70
6.40
11.40
1.78
2:57
The shot and HJ are less, but the others are better. This adds up to WR4367, which is 250 better than last year, and probably optimistic, but very realistic. It is still a long way off, though, so I'll update this estimate closer to the competition.
