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: (9.5 miles, 1:20:30).  15 x 1` w/1` recovery.  Ran on the new Richland Greenway today - this was done after I had moved from Nashville (when I first moved here I used to live right near here) .... very nice.  Tiny rolling hills, it is greening up here (thunderstorms last night) so it is so pretty.  The weather was similar to Sunday - drizzling - but warmer today (about 45F versus about 35F on Sunday).  I miss a lot of things about Nashville.  Very busy though.

PM: (4 miles).  Planning on running in Centennial Park!

You are SO ready for your marathon. And 3:30? You review that goal! You will do MUCH better.

Good luck.

Enjoy your time in Nashville. It sounds like you're making the best of it and having some great runs.

Sounds very pretty. On my afternoon run today I thought about you and your doubles - PM runs are horrible for me. So bravo to you!

Hi Sno, actually, for my PM runs the hardest part is just getting started. I actually feel much better in the afternoons (my legs body is warmed up by the end of the day).

Hope you are doing well. Happy April Fools day!
