marathon: 3:19:15 (2013)
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.

| Partially my usual run -- with about 45 mins of trail running thrown in -- it was busy busy busy out on the trails. There was some sort of mountain biking "event" going on (I asked someone what it was, and they said, "free hot dogs and beer" -- so there you go :). I did not mind (like I might normally mind) that the bikes interrupted the "flow" of my run - it was a nice day, I was running easy anyway - and everyone was super nice. Plus, it really only affected about 2 miles of my run.
Happy week bloggers!

| AM: 10 miles - easy peasy (1:29:21). Feeling better (meaning I don't feel like swollen beachball) - I had to stop taking my NSAID ... I am going to start supplementing my methotrexate with a curcumin supplement. Curcumin is a molecule found in the spice tumeric and is supposed to have anti-inflammatory properties. Dean is actually working on a clinical trial for people with rheumatoid arthritis (also on methotrexate). It is worth a shot ... have I told you all how much I hate taking all these darn medicines?! yikes, I have to keep a list in my wallet.
Anyway -- back to running. It was a very pleasant run :)
PM: easy 4
