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.

| 1:48:01(8:34 average) - 9 laps in Sugarhouse Park. Pretty consistent today (12:18, 11:45, 11:13 (was racing some guy - I won), 11:47, 11:44, 11:42, 11:43, 11:41, 11:36) -- 8:47, 8:23, 8:00, 8:25, 8:22, 8:21, 8:22, 8:22, 8:20 pace. Felt pretty good, despite a strong headwind up one of the hills -- and believe me it got old by the 2nd lap ;-). Snowing through part of it, sunny and too (?) warm through parts. I hope all you bloggers are enjoying your Sunday.

1:20:13 -- Poppington Park to City Creek Canyon - nice and easy, it snowed, it "sunned" - we had it ALL!!
Ran into Adam on his way out (I had never met him before, but I knew he ran that way often from his lab and he was wearing a fastrunningblog shirt -- so I said, "Hi Adam!", he never missed a stride even though we had a short conversation it was great to meet him).

| 10 x 150m hill repeats (on street just up from Poppington Park). Pretty good -- I ran just about until I felt the lactic buildup in my legs (~50 secs for me) - the last two were really hard, but they were my fastest ... A couple more weeks of these and then watch out track here I come ;-). Happy Wednesday | | Comments(3) |

| 1:01:58 ... 2 laps around the outside of Liberty Park + some around the neighborhood. Last week I ran a couple laps with Dean - I have always thought the outer loop (in the grass) was 1.7 miles (based on something I read on the internet). Dean believes it is 1.6 (by feel -- just so you know I always think he underestimates any mileage we run together) - so when he runs 2 laps + to and from the house he calls that 6 miles (where by my count it would be 6.4 ... and sometimes I could stretch that into 6.5 ;-) ). Anyway, now I can't call it 6.5 (because Dean spread the seed of doubt in my mind) -- so I have to add on miles!! Easy recovery run ... felt really good (even though I believe it was more like 6.8 miles or so ;-)).

ran to Liberty Park and ran 4.5 loops (~ 6.5 miles) @ steady state pace (7:40 - 7:45/mile average, slowest lap was 11:15 fastest was 11:06). First lap sucked because there was a street cleaner cleaning the road and the dust and fumes they kicked up were disgusting ... but, I was able to settle in after he stopped and the rest of the run was pretty good. Not quite as good as my steady state run from last week, but this one was at altitude and I was by myself, so I am pretty satisfied ...
I am very glad it is Friday - I can't wait to get some sleep tonight, as usual the cummulative sleep deprivation is getting to me today.
Happy weekend bloggers.

| 55:13 ... easy run to Liberty Park, 2 laps on the grass (inside near the wood chip path, should be ~ 1.5 miles each lap). We slept in this morning, part of me feels guilty about it, the other part is SO happy to have gotten more sleep than I have in many months. I finally got a paper off yesterday that I have been working on for over a year. It feels good to finally have it off my desk! Happy weekend bloggers.
