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.


Personal:

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

1:35:54. Beautiful day today!! Only 87F, 40% humidity (which is humid for us!).  So happy to able run again!  Much better than last Sunday.

Great races today in NY (5th ave mile) , loved seeing Jenny Simpson take the win!  I was rooting for Bernard ( because he is from Tucson, and he is allies best friend and all) - but I like Nick Willis, so I am happy for him too!

 

Dean and I are thinking of visiting his Mom in Indiana for Thanksgiving -- which happens to be the week after NCAA XC champs (in Terre Haute) - so, we are thinking  about going early to watch the races!!! How fun will that be? (answer: super fun!!!)

 

Happy Sunday bloggers!

Isn't Bernard the mouse on Rescuers Down Under?
