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.

1:02:40 (31:55/30:34).  Nice recovery run. I feel great today, running-wise. 

More track and field last night -- the men's 200 final was very entertaining.  Bernard did well in the 5K prelim, despite needing 5 stitches after getting spiked in the first part of the race (I was a little upset that did not show more of the race ... but luckily it is online).  I am getting excited for Paige Higgins who will be running the marathon on Sunday.


Dean is going to kick me off of the computer, so that is it for now!

Did you see the man/woman? http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/9956970/IAAF-asks-for-gender-test-on-runner-Semenya?GT1=39002

Is the marathon covered on luddite TV stations? NBC? I would love to see that if we're not off entertaining the MIL.

I'm glad you're feeling great today, at least running-wise, and that you're enjoying the track and field stuff. I wish I had time to watch some of it. I'm scheduled from morning to night. However, I did see that story about Semenya. I don't know what to think.

Thanks, Bonnie, for the constant updates on T&F. I've been catching the highlights on the computer, since I can't get it on TV.

That 10K workout you described yesterday does sound tough! I'd like to spend some time in the winter months doing some more track type workouts; it has surprised me how much I like the faster intervals and repeats. Thought I would hate it!
