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.

1:03:54.  Wonderful run up the Yeatman trail.  This might be the last day of high 70s ... by Saturday it will be in the 90s again for my runs.  I just feel oh so much better these days, sigh.  So the javelina have been by our house 2 times this week, neither time was I able to get any good pictures ... just more javelina behind going up the hill -- both times there were anywhere from 6-10 of them too.  

I hope you are all having a great week!

 

Go SPURS! ;-)

Wish I could see a javelina on my runs. I see deer and more deer. There was a dead siamese cat on the side of the road when I rode my bike this morning; it made me so sad and afraid for my kitties.

It's nice that you're feeling good these days. I hope it lasts.

Glad you enjoyed that last snippet of spring coolness! It was 82 degrees here and I was a whiny mess about that--summer is most certainly not my favorite running temps. 90's ouch not looking forward to it! I'll take a blizzard and run in it over hot and muggy any day! I have lots of family in San Antonio and they are all about the Spurs!

April, I don't care about the Spurs - I am just teasing Burt ;-). I hate summer with a passion. In about two weeks our LOW will be 80 - our highs will be 116+ and I will be groaning and complaining (luckily, you guys can't hear me) ;-), I agree with you about the blizzards! Be careful with those twisters!!! Are you working again tonight?
