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.

Tried to run at Jeremy Ranch Road on our way back from Deer Valley retreat but the road was a muddy bog ... so we drove down to the Jordan River Trail -- started at Redwood park and ran to 215 and then back.  Last 2 miles were at 1/2 marathon - marathon pace -- felt bad.  I think I ran too fast on the way out (1:06:11/1:03:41; 8:16/7:57 -- but only the last 2 miles were fast, the other miles after the turnaround were more likely 8:45 pace) so the last 2 miles hurt more than they were supposed to ... was glad when I was finished.

wow...you are so fast....Sasha had a HILARIOUS dream last night that I was with him on a run and he thought I was on a bike because we were going 5:50 pace. Turns out in the dream I was actually running. Funny thing about Sasha though is that he was looking at me this morning telling it to me and since I know him so well...I KNOW that man was imagining a way he could make that really happen for me. Not on your life honey...I don't want to run that fast but I would like to be able to keep up with you some day on a long workout. Keep up the good work.

ha ha ha ha -- I am sure Sasha had an entire program planned out for you -- and most likely it would be painful ;-). That said, I am absolutely sure if you had the time you could easily keep up with me - you just have bigger/more important commitments right now. Thank you for your kind words, I am pretty tired these days!

Often Jeremy Ranch road gets better when the temps get consistently below freezing and fewer cars are using it, the base is more solid and less muddy them
