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.

1:03:xx.  I don't have my splits ... it was something like 31:xx out and 30:xx back.  Easy run, thinking about today's lecture.  Very complicated stuff.  VERY VERY glad that the semester is almost over.  I need to get a decent textbook for next  year, the one this year was a bust.

The next few days will be busy - sporatic blogging most likely.  After Friday I won't have internet access from home for a while, at least until we figure out how to install Comcast broadband wireless server software on our Linux operating system.  

Happy trails bloggers.

Good running this week. How's the weather down there? It's getting kind of cloudy here.

Hi Burt, I am running pretty much the same thing I have for 6 months now -- I am BORING ;-). Congrats on being so high on the mileage board this week! I liked your screen shot, you are a geek.

It is cloudy here too. I don't mind, I liked last weeks weather (highs of 60) more than this week (94 yesterday). I just don't want it to rain on Friday when they are moving our stuff.

Oh yeah. But hey, you're moving!! :)

Do you have to teach the same course next semester that you're teaching this semester?

Happy trails to you too.

From Bonnie on Thu, Nov 05, 2009 at 12:18:02 from 75.164.101.203

No, I am teaching a different course next semester ... a biostats class for non-biostat majors (a mixture of MS and PhD students). It will be a much larger class, but I get a grad student TA).
