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.

| Hello bloggers, I have missed you. I have backed off running a little in the hopes of giving my new medication some time to work. The other drug I was taking just had too many horrible side-effects and yet wasnt working well. My knee and hips hurt all the time, and the joints in my feet and hands were swollen all the time. So, now I am on Enbrel (I give myself a rather painful shot every week), and I have backed off the mileage a bit. Things are much better after nearly 4 weeks. My goal is to take easy for another week or two and then start increasing intensity a bit. Fingers crossed, my doctor says he can get me to "90%" - I don't if he means 90% of where I was last year, or 90% of an average non-runner type? My hope is the former ;-)
I have missed you, and just have been too depressed to keep up, for that selfishness I apologize.
I hope those of you getting ready to Boston are enjoying the warm weather!!!
