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.

22:22.  My first "almost" painfree run!! yea.  As I left the house this morning Dean said, "have a good jog, you do know you are a jogger now?"  ha ha ha .... yes, I am painfully aware that I seem to have left the "runner" class and am now a "jogger".

I hope you all have a great day today!

That Dean. You're not a jogger, you're - a marathoner!!!

That reminds me of these vile, anti-jogging Pearl Izumi ads I see in Running Times magazine. (Nothing to do with Dean, mind you, who is a wonderful human being.) The latest one has a picture of this runner who has collapsed and is getting a I-V. It says, "No one has ever been humbled by jogging." Like being some kind of testosterone-crazed idiot who ends up needing an I-V is what we should all aspire to. I would boycott Pearl Izumi, but I already have one of their jackets. Dang.

hmmm. I had not seen that ad but will remember it and will join you in the "from now on" boycott. I am glad I did not buy any of their cycling shorts ;).

I personally don't believe there's any such thing as jogging. As far as I'm concerned, you're walking or your running.

And I can't relate to testosterone-crazed idiots. And I don't own anything made by Pearl Izumi.

And I won't buy any food at Burger King because of that square butt commercial.

Bonnie, its only envy. You are a RUNNER, be proud of it!

Good to see that almost pain free run, hope next on IS pain free.
