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.

40:43. Pleasant run with Dean on a bike path that ran through a wetlands area. Very nice day - saw some deer, some Oregon ducks, and some U of Oregon ducks ;-).

Tracktown USA it is ... there are lots of places to run and references to track meets and running permeate the town.

One tiny little downside to todays run, concrete ... yuck.

Have a nice day bloggers.

Hey! I'm glad to see you've got internet access up there in duck country. I hope the taper is going well and you're enjoying your trip.

What surface is the Eugene marathon run on?

I've been thinking about you and will continue as the weekend progresses. You're going to have a fantastic race.

hi Carolyn, yes, it is nice to be connected! The surface is a mixture between asphalt and concrete ...

I am on my way to get my t-shirt signed by Ritz!
