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: (9 miles, 1:10:45). 70` with 45` Steady State run in the middle. First SS mile (based on pretty inaccurate mile markers on the road) was 7:50, last was 7:21. Ran on Beach Rd. in Gulf Shores, Alabama. It is h-u-m-i-d here, and windy (gulf on one side of the road, bay on the other). Can't believe I just did two of these sort of workouts in 3 days. Welcome back to training!

PM: easy 4.

Merriest of Christmas wishes to you all!

Jake, you bet, now that I have the first two workouts done, the rest will be easy right? Hope you, Andrea, and your families have a wonderful holiday!
