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.

1:38:54 (8:48 average) -- 8 laps in Sugarhouse Park. Can you believe it, I am getting another cold. My throat hurt yesterday and I was coughing this morning ... it does not feel as bad as the one had last month, so I am hoping I can fight this one off ... bummer. | | Comments(2) |

1:12:34 - 60` steady state run to Liberty Park, 4 laps, and then home. Since I have a cold (not as bad as my last one, this one is in my nose and up) I just ran by feel, but did record my lap splits (need to put them in later) - basically the laps were 7:55 - 8:05 pace and it felt pretty easy (until the last 5 minutes). I did have two stops - one bathroom break and one interview with channel 5 crew ! They wanted to talk to me about whether or not I felt the air quality affected my run. I told them, "we don't have a treadmill, so it is run outside or not run ...". Since I am coughing because of my cold anyway - and I was doing a steady state run - I don't know if I feel the red air or not; but is sure is ugly!
I am not sure I am running the 15K this weekend, I don't feel horrible, but I do feel pretty run down.

1:21:55 ran from Poppington Park up City Creek Canyon just past the mile 2 marker. Had a hard time breathing, I am not sure if it was my cold or the air quality (which felt worse today than the rest of the week despite the snowstorm) - or both. Ended up coughing during my run (which is different). I don't feel "horrible" - I am certainly functional - just not "great".
Happy running. | | Add Comment |

52:44 on the grass at Liberty Park - 12 x 150m strides. Air quality was much better today, but I still ended up coughing a couple times on the run.
To all the bloggers who are racing tomorrow: good luck!!!

1:03:37 - 2.5 laps on the outside perimeter of Liberty Park - nice, on the grass the whole time, I have MISSED these grassy runs. I am actually hoping that I can run on the grass at Sugarhouse tomorrow too .. probably about 7 1/4 miles (felt like I was running pretty steady 8:50 pace or faster).
Can't wait to see how the bloggers did at the 15K, I missed you guys this morning.
