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.

1:19:45.  I don't know how far this was, but I don't think it was quite 9, so I will call it 8.5  -- ran very very slowly.  Ran hills, to keep in shape, but had to go super super easy down the hills, as not to "bounce".  Sore, but not as bad as yesterday, and not enough to keep me from running ;-).  I know my surgeon would be unhappy, but hey, whose life is this anyway?  I will compromise with him in absentia and only run once today ;-).  Mainly I am going to do this so I can run longer tomorrow (but don't tell him that!). 

I hope you are all doing well, can't wait to see the race reports come rolling in!  Run on bloggers!!

Heal completely soon lady! So proud of you despite it. Only another runner understands how you are feeling and your approach. Happy Saturday!
