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.

~53 mins.  Up the trail again.  Beautiful day!  Last lecture today and I have a masters defense this afternoon  .... but I am SO happy the semester is over.  It almost makes the 90+F easier to handle.

 

I hope you are all have a wonderful Spring day!

I'm so glad my son's charter school is not accredited. It makes flunking all his classes not seem so bad.

Yeah for the end of the semester! Does that mean you have time for a visit to Colorado?

90 degrees oh dear! Glad the summer approaches and you are enjoying your runs!

So jealous of your weather! We have gone back to 40 and even some mornings in the 30s. Yikes, its not even like SPRING!

Sorry to say, but you can have the summer heat -- I would much rather be running in 30F than 90F any day -- as it is I am procrastinating getting out, because I know it is going to be so uncomfortable ... but, it helped in my race last weekend, because during the last 3 miles of my race many people were starting to feel the heat (it was about 75F and sunny at the end) and I thought it was "not that hot" ;-)

I have always disliked the heat, even when I wasnt a runner.

auntieem, i have the heat and the humidity! i'd be happy to trade you.
