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 miles, 1:21:28).  30:48wu/31:58cd + 10 x 200 w/200 recovery.  Might have been a little longer than 9.  Michelle and I ran on the trail to Buffalo Park and then ran almost 1/2 loop (1 mile) together in the park then she took off to run a little faster, and I finished my warm-up.   My workout part was 'about' 200 meters, I measured out :45 and then used that as 200m.  It was slightly downhill for  5 of them and slightly uphill for the other 5.  Felt pretty good. I did another 2 mile loop and then came home.  I really need to run much much slower for the next 3 runs so I can recover for my long run.  I have been running faster than my usual "easy" pace the past week.  It is fine as long as I can recover ...

PM: very very easy 4.

Have a great Friday!!

You seem to be in great shape and recovering well.

will you be doing any races anytime soon? Just curious.

Nope, no races until it cools down here. I will probably run the 10 miler here in October, and then maybe a 1/2 marathon sometime in November. I hope to be running the Houston Marathon in January (I might be able to sneak into the elite staging area before the race since Greg (my coach) has many of his elite athletes running in the race) ...

These days are all about getting ready for the intense training come fall ... getting healthy (recovering from the pretty intense training last Winter and Spring) and having fun!
