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.

AM: (10.5 miles, 1:29:00 -- seriously! how did that happen?).  First run back in Tucson -- it was hot, and because of the monsoons it was actually humid (for here) too.  91F/30%

40:02wu/29:46cd  10 x 1` w/1` recovery.   Even though I miss Flagstaff, it was beautiful here last night -- I missed my mountains.

PM: easy 4.

Happy Tuesday bloggers!

Nice Bonnie. I heard you call my name as you drove by.

Great workout Bonnie! I did snicker at your 30% humidity. That is, indeed, a smokin' pace in 91 degrees though. Humidity or not, anything over 90 is just harsh. I popped your otterbox thing in the mail today..sorry so terribly late. :(

Welcome back, and I would never snicker at 30%... ok yes I would... however I agree, running in 90 is harsh! You know, if you miss the mountains, I have a great picture of one that someone pretty cool took....

So the mountain retreat is over, eh? All good things must come to an end. It sounds like it's back to the grind stone for both of us now.
