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.

51:28 - probably closer to 6, but not quite.  While many of the bloggers were running painfully fast today - I was running painfully slow.  My legs were a little sore, and mainly I wanted to make sure today's run was more for recovery - as I am planning on 12 miles tomorrow.  It was nice down at Liberty Park, for the first time in 3 months I could run on the outside loop - the snow had melted for about 3/4 of the loop.  Since there is a new snow storm heading in tonight, I thought I would do some grass running while I could!  With my tight achilles and PF problems it is debatable whether or not running on the grass helps (since it works the tiny stablizer muscles on the foot and ankle) - but it slows me down and the surface is much more forgiving so it seems easier on my legs overall.

 

Hope all the racing bloggers had a good day - so far the results look great - congratulations!

Thanks Bonnie, you are so sweet! We are doing great. As far as staying in the hospital goes they really try and do their best here. I have to hand it too you getting your runs in around here. As you can see I wasn't so graceful this morning trying to run through the maze of "city" things... I finally made it over to the Fedral Heights neighborhood when I realized I'd better get back. I think that if I am here on Monday and won't be going home till late or Tues. I'll try that area out first.

Hey Bonnie! Good run today! I saw your short term goal is to get to Provo to run w/ Sasha & the gang. If you haven't done it yet, you'll be glad you do! Happy running!
