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.

| 1:39:54 - Very windy today (gusts of about 25mph). I did two laps at Sugarhouse park by myself (12:46, 12:16) then 6 with Anna (11:59, 12:15, 13:47 (bathroom), 12:18, 12:09, 12:06, 11:56), fastest 1.4 mile loop was 8:31, slowest was my first one by myself 9:07. I felt suprisingly even though I have this really weird pain in my left leg (I think it is my IT band) that never got better on the run - though it did not get worse either so I just kept going. I am going to have to use my foam roller more faithfully again it seems. Still hasn't snowed again yet, but you can definately tell it is going to~

55:14 -- very very pretty today, a little slow because we had some snow last night, and by the time I was finishing up my run it was really coming down again. The big puffy flakes, I guess all tolled we have gotten about 3 inches so far.
My legs were tired, but I really felt pretty good today. Even my sore leg was doing better (after I spent 15 mins on the foam roller this morning, crying like a baby).

1:19:16 -- 40 min steady state run on Wasatch Drive - most miles were too fast (and I paid). Ok, I have a psychologic barrier at the end of the faster portion of this route. This is the second time (the first time was the tempo run I ran here a few months ago) that I could not make it up the final hill at a fast pace. Both times I felt really ill and had to catch my breath before I could finish the run. I HATE this hill, I always feel like a loser. So, my steady state run was really only 39:15! I suck. Anyway, I was supposed to run at about 7:50 - 8:00 min pace, I ran most of the them at 7:44 - 7:50 and then had a stupid 7:23 in there. Then ran the 2 miles uphill back to my office. I am going to beat that hill one of these days!
I am still not sure if I will be doing the 10K on Saturday. I just can't decide whether my head is in the right place - I know it will be way off my PR (since I am not even close to racing shape yet and have not done anything like 10K training for 2 years), and I have not raced at altitude yet, and I just don't know if I want to have such a slow race time. Anyway, it also depends on my sleep for the rest of the week, I am in the middle of grant reviews right now (I am off to the NIH next week) -- so my sleep time is limited and I am feeling a little run down.
Keep safe bloggers ...

about 4 miles + 12 x 150m strides w/1` recovery. 55:08. Still a little tired. It is a tough week/month. Not enough sleep and too much stress. Pretty much resigned to run on Saturday (notice I did not say race ;-) ). Hope the sun comes out tomorrow afternoon (no way is it going to today - looks like another storm is on its way) and melts the road a bit!! Glad all my Tennessee friends are ok ... feel really bad for the folks in Memphis and Jackson.

10K + 1 mile w/u 2 mile c/d
Nice race, small and well organized. I got to meet a bunch of bloggers! I was apprehensive about this race, not only because I am not really in the best of shape, but it was my first race at altitude. Overall, I was pleased with it as a workout ... consistent and a solid effort. My goal was to go out at about 1/2 marathon - 10 mile effort and the run the last two miles at 10K pace ... I ended up running a little faster at the beginning and just holding on at the end. Splits were 7:32, 7:33, 7:35, 7:24, 7:22, 7:22, 1:29 ... slight headwind the first 3 miles, so pretty even pace ... Good people, solid run, who could ask for more? Happy weekend bloggers.
