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.

| About 1:58/1:59 - I had a little "watch problem" (I forgot to hit it at one point during the run -- about 7-8 mins into it I realized it). Ran to Sugarhouse Park and ran 3.7 or so laps around the perimeter (in the grass) - it was GREAT to be able to do this again. It zaps your legs (hills on the grass) but I like it much more than the pounding of the roads and it is a good workout. Felt good, pretty happy! Now I have to go pack, another trip.

| 58:10, might have been a little shorter than 6.5 -- ran 2 outer loops at Liberty Park. Today was one of "those" days. I did not want to get up, I did not want to run. And, it did not "get better" once I got out the door. It seemed that except for the very easy downhill on the way to the park every step was a struggle of mind-over-matter. I love running on the grass (I think that most of my achilles problems have started once I moved here and don't run on the grass/flat trails as much), but man, I can tell I haven't done it in a while. You don't realize how many little muscles you have in your feet and lower leg until you do some tough hilly miles on the grass!! But, it is my belief that strengthening these stablizer muscles helps keep knee and ankle injuries at bay ... we shall see! I am glad tomorrow is a day off from running -- even though it most definately won't be a day off. I am heading out of town, again ... I am giving a seminar here today and then another one tomorrow!!
Happy Monday bloggers.

1:19:15 -- Wow. Great run on the Rilalto (sp?) trail here in Tucson. Ran a 60` steady state run (+10 wu and cd) with Dean. About 7:45 on the slight (very very slight) uphill out and about 7:30 (one 7:25) on the way back!! Was hard the last mile, but I am very excited about how easy it felt for the first few miles. I am sort of looking foward to checking out things on the track in the upcoming weeks!

1:25:37 -- probably a little longer than 9.5, but not quite 10. 12 x 1` w/2` recovery.
Office up Wasatch Drive to a bit further than 2100 S. Snowing/sleeting, but perfect temperature!

| 56:28 (probably about 6.3 or so) - ran down to Liberty Park, ran 1 outer loop with Dean (hence why I know it was not 6 miles - because I am sure that 1.7 miles was faster than 9 min pace!). Then one more by myself (after my bathroom break). Felt ok ... a little tired today, but luckily I get my first day off from work in over two weeks so I am happy!!
