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.

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

(Roche diagnostics).  We evaluate protein biomarkers that can be used to direct drug therapy that would be most effective based on individual characteristics (personalized medicine).

AM:(10 miles, 1:28:06).  Hilly run + 8 x 100m strides. So, I guess it takes me 3 days to recover from a 5K ... today I felt SO good.  The run was awesome, pretty, perfect weather (39F and sunny).  I think I saw Abdi today.  Whoever it was was FAST.  They had that stride that you only see on really really fast people who are trying to run easy, I can't describe it very well, but I know it when I see it.

PM:(4 miles, maybe 4.5, easy).

Have a great day bloggers.  Only two more lectures -- YEA!

 

I am moving this mileage to the correct day -- but leaving the blog here -- this run was actually for December 1, 2009 ... I don't want to mess up my "monthly" averages so I am moving the miles to the right day.  I am a dork, I know.

Hey, Bonnie, I chose Maui instead. I'd love to visit Tucson, but really need the ocean right now. Thanks for the welcome.

Hiya Bonnie, excellent running great mileage this week too :)

ahhh, Auntiem, I can't believe Tucson was even in the running next to Maui, but just so you know, it would be SO cheap to come out here that it might be a spring weekend trip ;-).

Back-at-ya Sandy (yup, we are pretty casual on this side of the pond ;-)). I am feeling pretty frisky so far this week!

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop?

I'm glad to hear you're recovered from your 5K and that the end of the lectures is in sight.
