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.

1:04:05. Easy run, I was so relieved that this run actually felt pretty good - last nights "shake out" was pretty funny I was making some weird sounds the first 3 mins or so ...

Went up to Phoenix to see John Ball ... and talked to our dear friend Ryan Hall

ok, the dear friend was exaggerating, but we did talk to Ryan Hall. It was cool.

Happy Friday-that-feels-like-a-Saturday bloggers.

Happy Veterans Day ... never forget.

Have to admit, you have some pretty good connections!

So jealous! You definitely get to rub shoulders with greatness! I live with my favorite Veteran--my husband!
