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.

Walked 55:45 mins today ~ 4 miles.  Wasn't "comfortable", but so far it doesn't hurt badly ... My goal is try to run 20-45mins on Thursday.  Probably won't run tomorrow (my first day back to work), but if I can get out of work before dark I will try to walk again.  

I hope you are all doing well!!

I like walking, even though all I could do was wish I were running. I was able to spend more time seeing all the flowers that are in bloom right now, and I saw a family of quail (with about 15 babies) and a quite a few cactus wrens.

Yea for the Wedding Bells 5K!! I don't think I will be racing it, and maybe not even running it, but I plan to try to at least walk it!!

Hi Dan. Feeling yesterday a bit ... perhaps too soon for exercise and a day of work. But, I am not giving up hope yet (since the day is young).

You doing too much too soon!? That's crazy talk! Seriously take it slow, I can only imagine how taxing normal/ routine things will be. Take care bon :)
