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.

| 2:02:41 (1:03:03/59:38) (9:00 AP/8:31 AP). Not as hot as yesterday (83F), for which I am profoundly grateful. I felt really good today, the whole run was just good. I just ran easy and was so happy that it felt good (despite my workout this week) -- I can't believe how good I feel after feeling so horrible a couple weeks ago. I hope you are having a good weekend!! | | Comments(3) |

| AM: (9 miles, 1:15:56). 8 (or I think I did 9) hill repeats up a "medium" sized hill. I had no idea what this meant (and did not have time to call Greg and ask him). So, I thought of all the hills (there are many since I live in the mountains) nearby and picked a 5-7% grade hill and thought, I will run about 90secs up it and call it the workout. Well, this was the lowest grade hill around but alas, it only took me a little over 60 secs to run up. It was hard (I went too fast on first couple) so I called it good. A minute at what felt like 200m pace wasn't fun so it had to be good ;-). PM: 4 miles easy. Tomorrow I am on my way to DC for a board meeting ... it will be a challenge but I think I have figured out a way to squeeze all of my runs in ... we'll see how the best laid plans work out. I hope you are all doing well!!

| 72:43. Up the Yeatman trail. First diamondback sighting of the year ... sigh, my Tucson trail running days are numbered for the season. I will miss the trails, but look forward to seeing them again in October ... so, do jackrabbits hibernate? I have seen tons of them this week, after not seeing them since last summer ... although the little cottontails seem to be around all year round. Just thought I would throw it out there in case anyone knows. Got to get to the airport ... happy running bloggers! | | Comments(2) |

| AM: (9 miles, 1:20:01). Easy run on the Mt. Vernon Trail ... beautiful morning, about 46F and lovely. Had to run on asphalt the whole way, but I won't complain ;-). Then I snuck off and had lunch with some friends up at the National Center for Health Statistics/CDC (where I did my post-doc) ... what a great day. PM: 4 miles easy - on the treadmill, man I really respect you folks that can run on these things for many many miles, I would rather run in a blizzard, a thunderstorm, anything ... tough - you are tough! I hope you are doing well, hurrying off to a meeting.

| 1:03:07. My watch said 3:15AM -- although it was 6:15 DC time ;-) Rainy and a little chilly at first, but actually it was perfect running weather (43F) ... shorts, long sleeve shirt and gloves. aaaahhhh. Hope all is well!

1:07:56. Early morning run - it was pretty dark when I started, but got light by the time I finished. I felt pretty good. I either ran the first half super slow or ran the second half really fast, because I turned around at 36:36 and got back at 32:20. Most of the other board members went to the ballet last night, and even though I wanted to go ... I was so tired, and I knew I had to get up even earlier this morning (we started earlier, I had to check-out, and I ran a little longer than yesterday). If todays meeting adjourns on time, or early, I will try to get a short run in before my flight leaves ... but it will be tough. Originally, I thought it was feasible, but we ran over time yesterday and we did not finish all of the agenda items ... so I think we might have a longer day than was originally planned. Happy Saturday bloggers! 4 miles on the treadmill before I got on the plane ...
