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.

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

1:25:26.  Yes, it is a little quicker than I usually run -- but I after a such a low mileage week my legs feel pretty fresh.  Now I begin the process to get a little  "out of shape" so I can build back to being in shape again.  My mileage will remain on the lower side for the next two weeks.  My main hope is that I don't replace my run time (built into my workweek) with work ;-).

I hope you are all doing well!!

Yikes .. I don't know how I lost so much time, sorry bloggers.  Things have been crazy busy at work.  I have been running -- and this coming weekend (3/24) is my first race since last December.

I am running in the Eugene marathon on April 28th ... and this weekend I am running in a very hilly 1/2 marathon!  Not a PR course, not by a long shot, but I hope not to embarass myself!
