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.

I have been in an arthritis flare, because I had to stop my medication for over three weeks because of side effects and illness ... But, obviously, I can run, and that is most important to me! It helps that with the holidays I have had had a few days off work, and even on days I have to work I haven't had as many early AM meetings, so I can sleep in, that helps a lot! Yippee. Bummed that my yearly mileage is the lowest it has been in years, but I really can't complain, I had a marathon PR and lots of great, fun, beautiful runs this year, I am a lucky person!

Happy last day of 2013 bloggers!! Love you!
