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.

50:14 - easy run from office up Emmigration Canyon and back.  Am coughing pretty badly, but still don't feel as bad as I sound. 

Happy Wednesday bloggers.

You sound great to me. I don't even notice the cough! (Maybe you are able to hide it well while you are blogging!) Hopefully it goes away SOON! Think sun, think warm...I know it's out there somewhere! You will be able to say goodbye to all these sicknesses that have been getting you!

ha ha ha .. Actually Kim, I love running in the cold, I prefer it to hot (and Southern humid) ... I don't like the ice much, but the cold is great. I don't know what is up with all the colds this year, maybe I am just not used to the dry air yet. I have never been sick so many times in one year before! I refuse to believe it is just "getting old"! I realize I am lucky though, colds are really no big deal.

How are you?? The moon is going to be pretty cool again tonight!

Hope you are feeling better! Still some nice runs thus for especially for late February! Way to go!

From Bonnie on Thu, Feb 21, 2008 at 09:05:02

Thanks Benn, even though I don't feel like I can race on Saturday (which is a bummer), I feel lucky I can just get out and run -- I am going to enjoy my run today for you and Maria.

Hope you are on the mend and back to normal soon yourself.

Bonnie
