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.

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

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!

Trail run ... first one of 2014.  It was wonderful, for me.  Even the multitude of people on "my" trail did not get me down!  I saw my neighbor with her horses -- I saw huge families of hikers.  All got a happy new year from me.

Then, I got home, and within 15 mins Dean came home - from his trail run.  he said, "well, I got the first fall out of the way" - and showed me his hand.  It was bad, real bad.  We trudged up the hill to our neighbors (both are physicians) to see what they thought about whether or not he needed stitches -- Amy (the horse-rider) was still out on the trails -- her husband, said, "yup, you need stitches, let me see if I can find Amy's kit, we probably have some sutures around here somewhere, I can sew that right up for you" :)  Well, he couldn't find Amy's stuff, so we ended up getting ready to sit for a while in an Urgent Care ... All is well now, Dean is stitched up, he has his pain meds, he has his antibiotics, and he can take the rest of the week off.  The doctor who sewed him up said, "hmmmm, looks like hamburger" :)

Happy New Year bloggers -- see I am trying to be a good blogger this year!
