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.

about 4 miles + 12 x 150m strides w/1` recovery.  55:08.  Still a little tired. It is a tough week/month. Not enough sleep and too much stress. Pretty much resigned to run on Saturday (notice I did not say race ;-) ). Hope the sun comes out tomorrow afternoon (no way is it going to today - looks like another storm is on its way) and melts the road a bit!!

Glad all my Tennessee friends are ok ... feel really bad for the folks in Memphis and Jackson.

So I guess I haven't been watching the new. What happened in the south?

A series of tornados ripped through Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee on Tuesday night. 55 people were killed (26 of them in Tennessee). Pretty scarey. I heard about it as I was watching election coverage and called some of my friends in Nashville, they were safe but spent the night in the basement with sirens going off all night.

Bonnie, do you think Jonas is okay? I watched the news but somehow didn't realize Memphis was affected. I feel so bad now - I emailed him update about my health problems, but didn't even ask him if he was okay. I feel so self-centered now.

From Bonnie on Thu, Feb 07, 2008 at 15:56:56

I am sure Jonas is ok ... the worst damage was outside of Memphis and in Jackson (which is pretty far outside of Memphis proper). Please don't feel self-centered, you have a lot going on right now and no one who knows you would think that of you at all.

Bonnie:

Is this the SLCTC 10 K? If yes, Benjamin is challenging you to a race. He should be able to run somewhere in the 45-46 minute range if everything goes well. His 10 K PR is 50:24 on a tough course (200 feet of steady climb in the first half, then back the same way on the second) in May 2006. He recently ran a 6:32 mile, back then his mile PR was 6:55.
