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.

Things are tough right now ... luckily I can run, but lack of sleep is getting to me. I was so busy yesterday that I missed lunch - I could feel it today.

Happy almost Friday bloggers!

There is a little event coming up for you. It's called a "week. end." I think you should attend if you can. At least part of it.

;) take care

Hello everyone!

Carolyn, I slept much better last night, thank you!

Allie, You are going through a lot right now! I can't even imagine your commute; 6 weeks!!

Sno - that was very cute - it made me laugh, thank you.

I need to get my lecture done for Monday this weekend, but I hope to take one day off from working!!
