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.

27:30/25:13 ... another very early, very dark run.  Beautiful sunrise over the Potomac River, I love the fall. I love the NE oak leaves of all of their vibrant colors. I love the crunch of the grass covered with frost.  Very nice morning (albeit a little early for me).

Happy Saturday bloggers!

 

Yea, I was able to sneak another 2 miles in my orthotics before my flight!  It made me almost as happy as a final ending to the meeting!

I love all those things too! Except I havn't seen the sunrise over the Potamac River! Have a great Saturday! It looks like you must have made it through your meeting yesterday. I now get to go to a 1 1/2 hour meeting then got to SLC and go to a 5 1/2 hour meeting. I feel like you!

Oh you poor thing ... I hope you do ok, and survive ;-).

I am still in meetings ... we started at 7:30 this morning and hopefully will finish in time for me to make my flight at 5PM. I am hoping beyond hope that I can sneak a 1/2 hour run in there, but it is looking unlikely at this point.

Great job getting out early for a run on a Saturday. I guess you do what you have to do when work is involved.
