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

AM: (54:32, 6 miles). Slow run to Liberty Park + 2 laps on grass and home.

PM: (3.5 miles, pre-blog).  

Foot does not hurt as much, although it still hurts more than it has all year, now it "burns", pretty much all the time.  I think that the tendon is so inflamed that it is pushing on the nerve.  As soon as we get to Tucson I will try to get into to see someone. Hopefully I can hobble on it until then.  It does not hurt as much when I run (after the first 5 mins or so), just pretty much all the time otherwise.   

Tough day - nonrunning-wise.  Things are not going well with our house here in SLC.  We are going to have to do a major repair (and I do mean major) before we can rent it out. 

We are going to be running at Jeremy Ranch Road tomorrow for the last time, it is sad.

Bonnie, have a good run on the Jeremy Ranch road, beautiful day for a run. Hope you foot gets better soon, big race coming up?

Hi Brent!!!! How are you? I hope all is well. I was thinking about you the other as I was wondering to myself if I might have to start cycling a little to keep in shape and keep my foot from hurting.

No big race until January -- though I am running a cross-country (European style with hay bales and water bogs!) on Thanksgiving day. Should be fun!

Please tell Sylvie and Sammy "hi" and "good dog", respectively.

Bonnie, thanks for asking, taking a few week off running to recover from St.George. Hay bales and water bogs, seen that on TV, looks fun.
