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.

1:01:58 (31:42/30:16).  Awwww.  It was a balmy 78F and I felt pretty good this morning.  I am still not completely back in terms of energy but I am feeling so much better.  I will likely take it a little easy this week, ease back into the mileage, but I am expecting to be back up to my "usual" by next week.  I am not sure that my first race in October will be what I was hoping, but it will be fine and I will just have to use it as a gauge and not look for PRs for a while ... the joys of running.

 

Have a wonderful week bloggers!

I'm so glad you're feeling better! I agree that you'll be back to normal next week if you just take it easy this week.

Yayyyyy Bonnie is back! So glad to hear you're better girl, and the weather sounds heavenly! It's been very nice here too, low 70's, hard to believe... last year we had the hottest and most humid days of the year around this time... Enjoy your running!

I think you have now officially survived the Arizona summer!

So glad to read you're not in bed dying of a secondary infection. Hopefully it's just the energy that needs to come back and the face/head pain is a thing of the past. You made me afraid my crowns are splitting underneath. Scary. I hate getting old!
