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.

Very depressing week -- got very sick this week, coughing, hoarseness ... once it moved to my chest, I did not run :-(

1:06:34.

Ran on the trails for ~35 mins, then ran up Anklam hill -- 300 ft up the first mile, then down a little, then up another 200ft for 1/2 mile.  It was fun!

PM: easy 4

I have been in an arthritis flare, because I had to stop my medication for over three weeks because of side effects and illness ... But, obviously, I can run, and that is most important to me!  It helps that with the holidays I have had had a few days off work, and even on days I have to work I haven't had as many early AM meetings, so I can sleep in, that helps a lot!  Yippee.  Bummed that my yearly mileage is the lowest it has been in years, but I really can't complain, I had a marathon PR and lots of great, fun, beautiful runs this year, I am a lucky person!

Happy last day of 2013 bloggers!!  Love you!
