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.

1:51:57 (probably a little longer than 13, by map my run it is about 13.3). Felt much better today than yesterday -- probably because I got a good night sleep. Ran to Sugarhouse Park and then ran 5 x 1.4 hilly laps. The last long uphill home was pretty tough, mainly because I ran a couple of the laps faster than I had intended (they weren't really "hard", but I meant to take it much easier today), to my suprise I still negative split the last 3+ miles (downhill out 27:39, uphill back 26:14) - lap splits: 11:57, 11:42, 11:16 (whoops), 11:31, 11:35. Was hoping for around 12 +/- 10secs for each - but I just went on how I was feeling.

I am relieved because although I have to work today, I can do it from home (and get laundry and housework done too!).

Happy Sunday bloggers.

The month will go by quickly - Looking forward to June 1st!
