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.

1:13:47 ... could have been 8.5, I sort of "got lost" again -- I guess I will call it "rambling" or "investigating" all of the trails ;-)  Luckily they all pretty much come back to the same place +/- 1-5 miles!

 Another beautiful day in Northern Arizona, too bad I have so many darn deadlines this week, I would love to go for a hike!!

I hope you are doing well!!!

Rambling runs are the best! I call it a "wandering" run. Easy to lose track of the time. Glad you are having good weather. Here it is 53 degrees and pouring rain!

INVESTIGATING---like it! Who knows what you will find out there, let's just hope it does not have teeth!

Have a great rest of the week! I pretty much think of you every day in the summer as I eat my post run popsicle!

Auntie, well it was 37F this morning here in Flagstaff. Dean, on the other hand, is down in Tucson where it is the usual over 100F+, with a LOW of 81F (at 1AM). I like 53, even raining, better than 100F.

Kelli, so far, nothing with teeth ... well, I did see some deer the other day, but they are vegetarians (like me) ;-). Awww, I am honored that I remind someone of popsicles ... what a good thing to be associated with (beats the heck out of broccoli ;-))

You also remind me of healthy slurpees!

woohoo. The next time you come to AZ I will bring you an Eegees!

Deal, it does not even have to be warm to enjoy good treats!
