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.

~~1:02:43~~ 1:11:59 -- I think this is what I saw on my watch, boy oh boy did I have to update, I forgot I ran 8 instead of 7 ... ~~I may have to update.~~ I am horribly busy today, I am woefully behind on preparing for a talk I am giving in an hour, and Friday is meetings day. We are having a fundraiser for the college (college of public health) tonight ... I had to buy make-up and stockings, since I generally don't have such ammenities.

Have a wonderful Friday and weekend bloggers!

NICE run! You couldn't attend the fundraiser sans make-up and stockings? I hear ya on having to dress up, hehe! I'm so short that it is the high heel shoes that kill me. Have fun and GOOD LUCK on your talk today. TGIF!!! :)

I haven't applied make-up since my brothers wedding nearly 2 years ago. I just don't waste time on stuff like that. I'd totally go to the fundraiser sans makeup and stockings. Its spring... you don't need stockings now!

Have fun! Take a pic so we can see you all dressed up!

I'd be happy if I never had to deal with make-up and stockings.

I hope your talk went well. Have a great weekend.
