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: (8.5, 1:20:52). I think this was maybe almost 9 ... but not quite. I was running really really slowly, even though I felt so much better than yesterday.

PM: easy ~~3.5~~ - I am going to try to get in 4 miles - I DID get in 4 miles!!, but I am not sure I will be able to, we are meeting some friends for a very early new years eve dinner (because we are old, and we all have long runs tomorrow ;-) ) and I have a PT appt that will likely last until 4 or so.

Happiest of New Year Eve's to you all! I hope you all have a 2012 that is love, blessed times, and happy trails!

Happy New year, you had a great year of running in 2011 (top female on the mileage board with some great numbers). Keep up the great work in 2012!
