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.

Personal:

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

AM: (8 miles, 1:12:03). A couple mins slower than usual, mainly because I slept in (until 6:30) and did not get started until is was a little warm, and sunny (the sun comes up here about 5:45 I think) ... am not sure what the temps were when I left (I didn't want to look, it felt warm) but by the time I finished it was 91.6F with 53% humidity.

PM: easy 4.

I have to go into work today for a bit, and then go get dog food, but I am seriously hoping I can sneak a nap in there somewhere.

SO very happy for seeaprilrun ... HUGE PR for her today!!!

We all need a good sleep in. :) I hope the dog food was not for you :p

Dan - nope, I am a vegetarian, and our dog food is certainly not veggie friendly -- although our dogs would likely eat it regardless ;-)

i hope you were able to get a nap in. just a few more months of heat to endure (maybe less?)
