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.

AM (5.5 miles; 46:42). Went to Liberty Park ran 2 outer loops on the grass. Ran 15` at 7:50 pace (I logged 1.5 miles "fast" but it was probably a little longer than that). Legs were pretty tired today, I hope they wake up a bit before this afternoons run! Next week I my mileage will be increasing quite a bit with 3 days with 2 runs.

PM (3.5 miles; 32:43). Hot (probably about 95F in the sun), hilly (last 1.5 miles are uphill), not very pleasant but I got it done!

Great pace! Good luck with the two-a-days next week!

Bonnie, good luck with the 2-a-days. Base mileage does really help with speed endurance. It is a tough time of year for 2 a days.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

Hi Brent, it is a tough time of year -- so far, so good. After 3 weeks I am up to 3/week and I am getting used to the hot evening runs ... for me, just getting out is the hard part, I really don't like the heat.

I am evaluating whether I can meet you this Tuesday morning or not -- I think I can, but more later!

Have great weekend - way to get out and cross-train.

Bonnie
