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.

1:59:02.  Ran about 3 miles on the road (25:15) and then hit the big hilly loop twice (5.5 miles, 48:50/44:57).  Good workout, beautiful day (only 85F when I finished!!).

So, we watched 3.5 hours of track last night --- YES!  I lost big yesterday, though it was worth it to see Lisa Koll win the 5K/10K double, Andrew Wheating win the 800/1500 double and Queen Harrison win the 100 and 400 hurdles!!

I will be blogging less regularly this week, since I will be out of town and working really hard ...

Have a wonderful family day today and a great week.  Congratulations to all of the superstar racers from the Utah Valley Marathon and all the weekend races!

Congratulations on a (relatively) cool run. Safe travels to you.

It was heavenly! Last night when I headed out it felt so cool I thought I would have to get out my vest ;) (not really but I joked to Dean about it).

Thank you for the wishes!

Travel safely! You are so good at getting your running done even when traveling. Thanks for the track updates; I haven't had time to watch as much as I'd like to.
