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 had a not-so-great work week (I am working from Flagstaff), which means many many conference calls).

 

But, running is great!  I miss you bloggers, more later!

True dat, Jake! I love it up here. Luckily, I have heard that Tucson is officially in monsoon season, that is pretty fun as well :)

you are racing so well this summer!!

By the way Jake, you need to come out this way for a 10K this winter. There are two that have prize money:

Sun Run (January): http://www.azroadrunners.org/races/detail/sun_run

Phoenix 10K (November): http://www.phoenix10k.com/

They both are pretty competitive!

You can stay with us for the Tucson race for sure. I might be running either the 10K or the half in Phoenix.

PHX 10K is on my list for the fall. I'm thinking Long Beach or San Jose 1/2, then CIM in December. I'd like to get in a fast 5K/10K at sea level too. Ideally PR in every important distance from 5K to Marathon :-)

My parents are considering moving from Phoenix so I need to get in a few more races down there while they're still there.
