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: (8 miles, 1:12:32).  Showed Dean my trail from a couple of days ago -- he liked it.  He also kicked my behind - I think he is getting in shape again, I know he doesn't think he was running "fast" - but he was running faster than I could run easily. 

PM:(4 miles easy).

Having some folks over for dinner tonight - I can't believe it is our last night here ... I have to work a little this afternoon, so I can enjoy the evening!

Happy weekend bloggers.

It's great that you and Dean can run together, even if he goes a little too fast.

Have a good time this evening.

I am lucky, Dean is a sweetie for trying to run easy with me. He was actually quite a bit more than 'a little' too fast. Once he is in shape again he will have a really hard time running with me for more than a couple miles ... it actually hurts his hips to have to run that slow for extended periods of time ...

I too think it is great that you guys run together, at least occasionally! Enjoy your last day.

Sounds like you had a great retreat to Flagstaff. It is indeed cool that get to run with your husband and share in your passion for runing.
