Short-Term Running Goals:

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.


Personal:

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

1:17:09  6 laps +1/2 mile in Sugarhouse Park.  Man, my legs are beat up, especially my quads - the severe downhill yesterday most likely.  I feel really old today ;-).  But, I put in my time ... most of my laps were around 11:45 - 11:50 (around 8:30 pace), I was suprised.  I ran two of them with Dean which was very pleasant, and sweet of him to run so slowly with me.

Tomorrow I am on my way to DC again ...

Happy week bloggers.

58:14 - ran to Liberty Park did 2 laps on the grass on the perimeter of the park and back.  Tired but legs did not hurt as badly as they did yesterday.

1:16:26 - 50` steady state run on Rock Creek Parkway. Was able to check splits for a couple of miles at the end, 7:40 at the end -- but was rolling uphill into the wind out and tailwind/slight downhill on the the way back so probably did not average much faster than 7:50.  Felt pretty good, legs were still a little sore starting out and on the steeper of the downhills - but these hills feel much easier than anything in Utah ;-).

Happy humpday bloggers.

1:23:16, 9.1 miles (Anna's garmin) from Poppington Park up City Creek Canyon and back.  Nice day, legs were a little tired from yesterdays run (and residual downhill pain from Saturday), but felt pretty good.  Very little sleep over the past few days with travel and meetings so I was happy to be out in the fresh air!

1:02:37.  8 x :25 hill repeats up near Wasatach Drive.  Felt pretty good, a little tired coming back up to my office, but all and all pretty good.

Happy Weekend Bloggers.

58:59 -- maybe a little longer, ran to Liberty Park then 2 laps on the outside of the park.  Ran around the neighborhood a bit to ensure 6.5 miles (since technically I think 2 laps + run to the park would only give me 6.4 miles) - I think I ran more then .1 of a mile, but not enough to count.

Beautiful day!
