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.

| 2:14:17 ... I am estimating it was 15.5, as it wasn't the 14 I had planned, nor was it the 16 that I would have preferred ;-). I planned on 14 because I am jet-lagged and tired from my business trip. But, I saw one of my colleagues running ahead of me and I chased her down -- first, is it me, or is there some sort trend in my current behavior lately? - second, she is an ironman triathlete, and a little slower in the run bit, but tougher overall ;-). So, the cool thing about going out of my way (route-wise -- since it took me about a mile to catch her, and she was heading in a different direction than I had originally planned) was that I found a REALLY cool new route on about 3-4 miles of hilly dirt road -- SWEET!!! Plus, and this is very very cool, it was beautiful today -- perfect weather -- 70, sunny, with hint of wind on the last 2 miles uphill (ok that wasn't perfect, but the rest of the run was!). So, so, lucky.
Plus, it was April Fool's Day on LetsRun -- who could ask for a better day???
Happy April 1st bloggers! | | Comments(4) |

| AM: (9 miles - maybe a little longer than 9, 1:22:22). I picked it up the last 20 mins ... around MP. PM: easy 4. Beautiful morning -- 50F and sunny! I sort of ran near my "new" route from Sunday, I couldn't actually find the turn-off that my colleague showed me ... I will need to get her address later so I can find the trail again. I have a horrible sense of direction. I hope you are all doing well! I am busy at work, which is good, because this week I find out how my breast cancer will be treated. Fingers crossed that the genetic test comes back negative and I get to stick with the surgery + radiation option (and get to keep my girl parts). | | Comments(1) |

| AM: (7+ miles, 66 mins). Again, I was late and in a hurry. So, I tried to make the best of a short run and ran hard over very hilly terrain. Great run. I am in a very very good mood! PM: easy 4. BLOGGERS!! There is a plan!! In about 3 months I will be cancer free!! My genetic tests came back negative, so I get to keep most of my "girl-parts"! Yea. Met with all of my "team" today ... So, I have my first (hopefully only) surgery on April 20th. If margins come back good then I will start radiation on May 14th, or so, and be finished by the first part of July!! Yea. My personal goal (not sure my team agrees with me) is that I will be training full-on by September for my birthday 50K in October (may have to be later in the month rather than right on my birthday, but that is ok). I still have a ton of tests and procedures before the surgery -- but it is OK, I am just glad, I HAVE PLAN ... I have dates, I have goals, I see a hopeful end in sight. Freaking breast cancer is NOT going to mess with my running goals! In the meantime, I have to get through the semester, finish these grant proposals, and get the hoards of collaborators off my back ;-) | | Comments(9) |

| 63 mins or so ... fed Dover some carrots - no biting today ;-). Busy so busy. Tomorrow we are going up to Phoenix to the Sun Angel track meet -- poor Dean needs some time away from home and the constant travails of a worried Bonnie ... so, we are going to try to take a day break from everything. I will, however, have to try to work in the car on the way up there ... so we will see how that goes ;-). Happy weekend bloggers! | | Comments(3) |

| 1:15:xx In a hurry -- what else is new? I am not going to be able to do my second run today because we will be at the track meet ... but, I am not stressing about it. I hope you are all having a wonderful Easter eve (or Easter Vigil for you Catholics). | | Comments(2) |
