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.

2:04:02. I don't have any idea how far this run was, but after my run last week (on a marked course) I am pretty sure it was longer than 14 ... although it was hilly (and on a trail) and 82F or 83F? so I am pretty sure it wasn't 15, so I am compromising and calling it 14.5 ... who cares ?

I ran pretty hard the last half of the run -- I used the EFS liquid shot (see Nan's page for information) -- a little before I started and a little after about 8 miles. It was pretty good. I still can't imagine using it for a race until they put it in a more carrying friendly size -- since I don't use water belts or anything; but when they do come out with more of a 'gel size' I will most definitely give it a try.

Nice run, I feel pretty good today -- I think it is because I did not work at all yesterday -- wow! first time in so very long.

I have to work today, but probably only a few hours.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day with your families!

Way to go Bonnie. And so you know, I care.

you are very sweet Burt.

I am sorry I did not post sooner about your awesome Ragnor write-up, I am so glad you had fun! You ran well and I am sure your team appreciated your running prowess almost as much as your sparkely personality!

Now you're the sweet on Bonnie.

I'm glad to hear that you've had some time off work.
