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.

3:38:06.  3 loops - between 7 and 8 miles each loop (Merry has a Garmin, so I know we ran 22:2x something miles - even though I did not want to know!).   I know, the time looks slow -- but, it was on the trails, and it was a challenging run.  I ran with Merry -- and she took off during the first loop, but she stayed with me the second two, she said she was tired, but since she is a 3:12 marathoner, I am not sure that it is the case, although it might be the case that she is not used to either running on the trails, or on the hills.  Anyway, 1:12:22, 1:13:xx, and 1:13:xx -- for some reason the lap thingy did not work on my watch beween 2nd and 3rd laps, I just remember that the 2nd was 1:13, and that would leave 1:13 for the last one.

All and all, a beautiful day, and fun running with someone for a change!

Happy Sunday bloggers.

Awesome long run Bonnie! I'm quite jealous of the nice weather. :)

Running with someone makes the miles more enjoyable (when you run 22 anyway!) Nice long run Bon Bon.

Thanks Rachelle! I know, I am lucky. Although - I just took pictures of our snow covered mountains, it is 35F here right now.

Awww Dan, that is my childhood nickname! I miss it!
