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.

2:04:12.  Hilly run, ran pretty easy - I had to because last night I was pretty darn sore from yesterdays run.  I tried really hard to run easy peasy today.  It was raining and 43F, snow in the mountains.  Actually, my friend Merry was supposed to race this morning and they cancelled the race because of lightening.  Bummer, as I am sure it was going to be a fast race.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday!

Well shoot, it is a bummer when race is cancelled. So glad to hear you got out again. Hilly can be good for you as you know. You are my hero Bonnie.

I'm glad you were able to do your run. I hope the soreness goes away soon. And I agree with Lily - you're tops!

You are a hero to all of us! We all have you in our thoughts and prayers! You never fail to amaze me with your positive attitude no matter what is going on in your life!

You are so consistent no matter what changes. Pray the soreness fades fast.

Lily, isn't that a coincidence? you are my hero!

Catherine, you rocked it this weekend, and Elliott got to see it!

Kim, big hugs, you are a sweetie and always brighten my day.

Dan, you are a sweetie too (and not just because you talk dessert with Kelli either)

You guys are the best!
