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.

1:19:42 -- pretty run up city creek canyon. When I started it was cold, with a strong headwind. Started snowing when I turned around (about 41 mins into the run up the canyon) -- nice tailwind on the way back, snowing pretty heavy. Very beautiful, not peaceful because of the wind, but beautiful nonetheless.

I am leaving for Tucson (nice balmy 50F), and then to Flagstaff 7000ft, and about the same weather as here. I will be getting quite a few flora/fauna changes over the next few days!

Happy running everyone.

Enjoy Tucson before you have to be in Flagstaff! I remember when you were worried you might get 'sunned' in in San Diego. It looks like you do a lot of work related travel. Do you like that? I think it is awesome you can keep up your training with all of that.

Thanks Kim! I am pretty obsessive (some would say too obsessive) with my training ... I generally am able to fit it in, sometimes this is harder than others. I do like to travel, though I would not like to do any more of it than I do. This Spring we are going to Spain (for work) -- that kind of travel is really nice, because we probably would never get around to going there if there weren't some sort of work-related reason to go ... you know what I mean? We haven't even been to Moab or anywhere cool like that yet!

Good luck at Painter's -- I bet you are going to PR bigtime!
