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.

| 3:03:10 (1:33:52/1:29:18). Ran on the Mt. Vernon trail from Arlington to four miles from Mt. Vernon. I was not enthusiastic about getting out the door today, but had to admit 10 miles into it that it was a beautiful day, a great place to run, and I felt pretty good ... I am lucky. There were a lot of people out - cyclists, runners, and walkers. I even saw a woman who easily weighed 250 lbs jogging. I so wanted to yell "good for you!" But, I was afraid it would make her feel worse and not better, so, I just casually said "good morning" instead. Tonight I have to go to a dinner meeting...I did not get much else done today, so I guess I will be working on the plane tomorrow. I can't wait to get home! Oh, and my legs ache. :-) Happy Sunday, bloggers. | | Comments(3) |

| AM: (10.5 miles, 1:20:43). ~30 min wu/cd and then 15 x 1` w/1` recovery. over hill-and-dale. Saw Abdi, invited him to come with us to see John Ball (the imfamous ART guru) on Friday in Pheonix, he did not accept ... too bad, it would have been fun to ride up with "the Mayor of Tucson". PM: easy 4. Nice day today, I felt pretty darn good. I just need to make it through a couple more hard workouts, and then I am on easy street ... hehe ... | | Add Comment |

AM:(13 miles, 1:45:56) 27:57wu/28:05cd. 8 x 800 w/ equal recovery (psuedo Yasso 800s - since I only did 8 instead of 10, I am just not strong enough to do 10!). Average: 3:17 3:20, 3:16, 3:19, 3:18, 3:17, 3:17, 3:16, 3:16 (recovery was between 3:22-3:35) I think this is the fastest I have ever run these ... like, ever. (by comparison, this same workout before my aborted March marathon was: 3:24, 3:22, 3:19, 3:17, 3:17, 3:17, 3:17, 3:16). It was not easy by any means, but I did try really hard to keep control - and think "let the pace come to you, don't fight to hit the pace" (and there was a little voice in my head that kept reminding me that I had to run 3 hard uphill miles home ;). I am hopefully optomistic about my chance to go sub 3:20!!
PM: easy 4. like stupendeously easy 4 ;)
Happy Thursday bloggers!!

| 1:03:43. Easy easy easy run. Legs are not achy, but they are tired. I feel very old. 16 days to stay healthy! I took 1/2 day off from work to drive up to Phoenix to see John Ball. Love him (like seriously, I have a tiny crush on him) - I don't feel "better" yet, but I do have a little more flexibility now. Safe travels Boston bound bloggers -- so excited for you!!! | | Add Comment |
