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.

Very s-l-o-w recovery run up Yeatman trail.  Did not see any wildlife, except for a few Pategonia Erectus ... (I heard this on the backpacking bus that takes you out into Denali -- the ride takes quite a while and the whole way we are seeing wildlife, from bears to carbou to "little white dots" (dal sheep) -- so we are driving along and someone says, "hey is that a grizzly?" and another person looks through their camera lens and says, "no, just a Pategonia Erectus" -- I thought it was so funny).

Have a wonderful Friday bloggers!!

Hi slick! Hope you are having a wonderful week!!

I run exactly the same thing every week except for Tuesday and Thursday (my workout days) -- WF is 7 miles and Saturday is 12-13 (8/9 miles AM, 4 miles PM). My long run differs depending on what I am training for (I never run more than 16-18 miles unless I am marathon training), and my workouts will differ depending on what I am training for ... but the basic principle is the same regardless. It makes it easy for me to remember and schedule my hectic life when some things "never change" ;-)
