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.

1:10:06.  Could have been 8, so I am splitting the difference.  OUCH.  I decided not to take the easy trail today and instead climbed up (and I do mean up) the Rocky Ridge Trail (the name says it all) toward the Schultz Creek Trail.  My legs are fried, my lungs are fried.  I am just plan ole fried.  Life is good.

Happy Friday blogger friends!

You too KP! I wish you were here you would love these trails!

Hey Allie, I loved reading about your long run with Nan -- very cool stuff. And, I am glad your tummy can handle shot blocks! I am always afraid they are going to take out a tooth (but that is an old lady problem not a young studett problem ;-) ). Have a good weekend yourself!

That's still a great pace for a tough trail.

From Bonnie on Fri, Jul 09, 2010 at 22:08:37 from 70.41.211.48

Thanks Carolyn, I don't know what the pace was ... it was hard though. I am glad you survived your hard work-week (I am assuming you survived?). I hope you have a nice relaxing weekend, you deserve it, it sounds like you just have been going non-stop since last week!
