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.

3:21:14 (1:45/1:38).  Two really really really (did I mention really) hard loops - more like 22.4 since each loop is 11.2 miles.  I am very excited.  I am now positive I can run a marathon.  I ran the first loop with my friends Doug and Jeannine (average about 9:20 pace) and then ran the second by myself (average about 8:45 pace) - I have all my splits but don't have time to write them all down now.    

Happy Sunday bloggers.

Yay!!! You are going to be golden at 26.2!

Thanks Sno! I am glad that you had a nice run today ... I know how much you miss the miles!

Way to go! You'll have no problem in your marathon. You will definitely be an age division winner.

Great run today. When is your next race?

Nice run! At the top of the mileage board as always!

Whats your marathon PR?

From Bonnie on Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 08:03:12 from 68.53.87.59

Hi Edrickt ... I am sure that will change over the week!

azdesertmonsoon, I don't have a PR yet! I am running my first marathon in May. Luckily, no matter how it goes this one will be a PR ;-).

Great job!

From MichelleL on Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 11:29:33 from 67.41.191.61

Awesome run! It must have been very thrilling!

From azdesertmonsoon on Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 16:38:47 from 204.17.31.126

I just assumed someone who consistently puts in the mileage you do must have ran a marathon before. Good luck hitting sub 3:30.

From Bonnie on Fri, Apr 03, 2009 at 12:44:33 from 71.210.121.51

Barry -- I am sorry, I just realized I hadn't answered your question. I am running a marathon on May 3rd or so. Either Eugene, Lincoln Nebraska or maybe one a week later if I get a cold this week!

You are racing Salt Lake 1/2 and then Ogden right??
