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.

AM: (9.5 miles, 1:25:46).  43:31/40:05.  Should have just gone the extra 1/2 mile for an even 10 miles ... but, I have a lot of work to do today.

PM: easy 4.

 

So very very happy that the monsoons are here - Arizona is ready to burn up without some good rains.  I hope they last at least 5 weeks.  There was snow on top of Humphreys Peak - which happens to be right outside my window right now (it is the highest peak in Arizona at just under 14 feet).


Happy week bloggers!

it's been a very sad summer. Many of my favorite places have burnt.

AZDM -- I know! They closed Mt. Lemmon yesterday because a lightening storm started a wildfire and it looks like the Coronado National Forest will be closed for the whole summer at least.

Thank you Catherine!

just under 14 feet!? I think that's the highest peak in Kansas...:)

From Bonnie on Tue, Jul 05, 2011 at 21:25:41 from 70.59.246.46

Nice bon- any chance of snapping a shot of that peak? Would love to see it!

So you've got a 14er, eh?

You are so great about running doubles.

So glad the rain is giving some relief; didn't realize there had been so many fires in Arizona!
