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.

2:17:23.  Two loop trails near the Gilbert Ray campground.  No long hills, just uneaven footing and lots of short little hills.  Happy to feel as good as I did!! 

Great racing today, both by fast running bloggers, and elites!  

Special shout out to our own JakeK and Riley Cook who ran in the USA 1/2 marathon championships!!

I am so busy -- I barely got all my runs in this week.  Sorry bloggers, I miss you so much!  

The summary here -- it is warmer than usual -- it might be the second warmest winter on record. While some of you freezing people may think this is good, we  miss our rain, and chill, of the wintertime :)

I hope you all run safe, fast, and are enjoying whatever weather you are experiencing :)

easy run --- mantra of the morning, "relax, be in the moment, enjoy the beauty, relax" 

I am a little stressed at the moment :)
