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.

2:00:05 (closer to 14.25 actually - I took a wrong turn!).   I have been looking forward to my first flat run in so long ... I ran with Dean for a couple of miles then by myself for the rest of the run.  I took a little detour at about 6.5 miles because I couldn't remember which path to follow ... I doubt it added more than 2-3 mins to my run.  After the turn around (right after what I will forever think about as Brent and Sylvies part of the trail) I was not feeling very good.  I was pretty sure that 8:25 pace felt comfortable on the way out, but was worried it might not be a great pace for 14 miles.  With 2 miles to go I was sure that I was running a painful 10 min pace -- well, much to my suprise I negative split by 2 mins (no wonder I was hurting the last mile!).  I was pretty happy.

Such a beautiful day -- truly, I think Spring is here!! I hope you all had a wonderful Sunday.

Bonnie, sweet run, your training has been great the last few weeks. When I get back to running, we'll need to do a run on the trail.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

That would be so cool!! I thought of you and Sylvie at the 5720 marker! I really do enjoy that trail, plenty of bathrooms, water and marked miles!

You are so smart in your recovery - this is where experience pays Brent!
