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.

1:30:52 (46:08/44:44). glad to be out today -- feels good to run more than 4 miles again ;-). Quad muscles were getting a little tight near the end of the run, but nothing a little stretching won't cure (I hope). So, I am still not sure what marathon I am going to run ... I am discussing things with Greg now. February is going to be tough training-wise as I have two trips to DC I have to make (one is for a grant review, I have five grants I have to review in the next week), I have a book review due for a journal and I have to finish this paper I am working on by the end of the month. Whew, I am tired just thinking about it ;-). But, I have done it before I am sure I can do it again. Although my projected marathon time "should" be under 3:30 (based on my 1/2 marathon) since this is my first I will be happy with anything around 3:30 and it is my target right now. I guess we'll see how I adapt to 3-4 hour long runs.
Happy Sunday bloggers. | | Comments(3) |

AM: (8.5+ miles 1:13:31 (37:39/35:51)). As you can see, I felt pretty good today. I didn't really mean to speed up after the turn-around, it just happened. I was glad, I was starting to worry that my legs were going to feel sluggish forever! I am going to run somewhere between 3-4 miles tonight. I am looking for an April marathon. I thought it would be a May marathon, but Greg wants me to run one sooner - he says it should only take 6-8 weeks to get ready. I am a little apprehensive I have to admit. PM: (4 miles, 36:53). Regular run on the grass on the campus quad -- better than usual because I ran with Dean!

| 45:24. Nice easy jog. I went exploring for new trails and running places. My main criteria: dirt or sand, prefer some hills, few major intersections. Luckily, there are a lot of washes and dirt paths around my area. Had a few starts and stops (the main wash ended as a feeder wash came in from the west, for instance) but it was fun. I am trying to enjoy the "down-time"! | | Comments(2) |

| AM:(8.5 miles, 1:12:57 (37:21/35:35). I felt great today, I couldn't help but push it a little bit -- it is harder to run easy when I don't have a hard workout looming!! I was surprised how good I felt given I have been working until 8-9PM every night and not getting much sleep because I am so stressed out about my many deadlines. And, I am so obsessed I am already trying to figure out how I can get my runs in next week when I am in DC and in meetings all day! I think I have to let it go and just do what I can.
PM:(4 miles). | | Comments(1) |

| AM: (8.5 miles, 1:13:30 (37:39/35:50)). It took me a little longer to warm up today - my legs just felt sort of non-responsive and "clunky" - but by about 3 miles I felt really good. PM: (4 miles). I have to work all day, and probably some of the night ... tomorrow I get to run longer (1:45 or so), yea! | | Comments(5) |
