Short-Term Running Goals:

 

3:20 marathon - Eugene Marathon, April 28, 2013 (can I say I really want a sub 3:20? but I will be happy with 3:20-3:23) -- whoohoo!

Some good intermediate races 15K - 1/2 marathon, to gauge my fitness level (done this, hit a 1:34:35 1/2 marathon in March 2013, on a hilly course)

Going after my 10 mile PR in Fall 2013

Maybe some good 10K races after the infernal Arizona summer is over! 




Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to be one of those runners who is still running in their 80s (or 90s?).  You know the ones, who look all grisley and fit?  That is what I would like!  Until then, I just want to work hard and be as fast as I can, for as long as I can.

1:01:34.  Nice run - I drove to the Horsetooth area, I think by the Dixon resevoir, ran on the Foothills Trail -- now that's my kind of trail, singletrack dirt, did not see too many runners, saw a lot of bikers.  Had some problems with breathing up the very steep hills, but overall the extra 2500 ft hasn't been noticeable. 

I hope you are all doing well. 

I liked the radiation oncologist ...

How's your mom doing today Bonnie?

Same question as I hope she is doing as well as can be. Glad you are with some fam and you like the oncologist- it does help.

Sorry about what your mom (and you!) are going through. I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer a couple of years ago. Not the most pleasant 8 months of my life, but my family all got a chance to spend a lot of quality time together as there was no room to take my dad's life for granted any longer. He was only 71 yrs. old. I wonder what it's all about.

So sorry to read about your mom! My mom has had double breast cancer and my brother had kidney cancer. It is so stressful and heart wrenching! You will be in my prayers.

Running always helps me relieve stress, I am sure it is helping you a bit. Nice vertical today! I am always having trouble breathing up the steep hills.

I'm glad you're able to find some nice places to run here in Colorado and I'm glad that you're able to spend some time with your mom. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
