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.

AM: (12 miles, 1:39:58), 28:53wu/31:37cd. Cruise intervals: 6 x 1000 w/200 recovery

+ 3 x 200 w/200 recovery. Target pace was 4:14 - 4:20 (6:46 - 6:56/mile, which is 5-15 secs/mile faster than 10K pace for me).

4:19, 4:18, 4: 19, 4:17, 4:16, 4:17 (recovery average: 1:20) + 3 x 200 at 46secs with 1:17 average recovery.

did a few laps cool down and then ran the 3 miles uphill home ...

This was both a little easier and a little harder than I was expecting. I am pretty sure it was the fastest I have ever done this workout, but it did not actually feel good, until it was done!

PM: easy 4.

Happiest of Thanksgiving bloggers!
