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.

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

I don't know if this is 15, but it is probably close ... Very hilly the whole way with about 35 mins on the trails.  Dean had a new pair of Oakley sunglasses that I have adopted (e.g., stolen) to wear on my runs.  I have never worn sunglasses when running before - wow I can't believe how much better it is!  Especially in the glare of the 'started your run too late during the summer' day ☺. It was 90F when I finished my run at 10AM ... 

 

Happy Sunday bloggers!

I never wear sunglasses. I've always thought it beneath me. Maybe I should try them.

i never wear sunglasses either, but that is because i can't find a pair compatible with my nose.

bonnie - you have a liberty park twin. she is there every morning, she looks just like you, and she is always zipping along on the grass path. sometimes i just pretend it's you and say "hello, bonnie" and i think it scares her.

allie, no doubt she is terrified. you are an imposing figure, looming in the darkness.
