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.

| a little on the trail, a little on the road, a lot on the hills :)
So, it was sad, tonight Dean and I were BBQing and I saw a herd of about 7 deer. I did not want to spook them - in case they ran out into the road, so I put the dogs inside and tried to be quiet. about an hour later I heard a car hit one of them ... and the guy dragged the carcass to the side of the road right down near our driveway. It was sad - and I told Dean that the dogs were going to be barking all night as the coyotes, bobcats, and maybe mountain lions came by the house to feast. sure enough, barking all night long. Then, on Monday morning (about 12 hours later) Dean went for a run, and after he got back I saw him wandering around the hillside beside our house. Apparently all that was left of a whole deer was a "pile of guts" (Dean's words) and a trail of blood over the rocks that lead from the roadside to up the mountain. Wow.

| guest lecture today for a course at the U of A ... not a class I used to teach (thank goodness) - but a few of my old students were there!
The woman who teaches this class is a friend of mine - she received her PhD a few years after I did at the University of Colorado. So -- after the class tonight we went out and had some dinner, it was fun. Dean is out of town, so I was bacheloring it anyway :)
