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.

| 2:09:23. Ran some hilly miles near my house -- after all that flat stuff last week I figured I owed it to myself to get back to the hills. Plus, I had to write a midterm today so I did not want to drive up to the River Trail (I can't run on my favorite long run spot because of the snakes). So, I found out what happens when you have two weeks of 90-100F weather and all of a sudden the temperature drops to 35F and it rains -- FOG and lots of it. Woke up this morning and visibility was about 10ft. By the time I got out to run it was sunny, but the wind was cold and I under-dressed a little. Bummer that the water-fountain that I normally use at about 9 miles was gone (I think the pipes froze and exploded this winter and they are repairing it now). I was thirsty, but not dangerously so ... glad to have the run over with though. I am tired. I did not get home until nearly 11PM last night -- and my internal clock is all messed up ... I hope you are all doing well! happy running! | | Comments(3) |

| AM: (10.5 miles, 1:29:15) 25:05wu/24:37cd. 15 x :45 w/2` recovery (essentially a fartlek version of 15 x 200 w/300 recovery). Legs felt pretty fresh today -- old, but fresh ;-). PM: 4 miles easy. Keiko the Ridgeback had surgery this morning (cancer, again) - I ran from the hospital (it is a hospital, they even have visiting hours!! can you believe that??) while she was under the knife. I did the workout in the dirt parking lot of the Rillito Park (horse racing track) - it was a pretty nice surface, and since there were no turns it was pretty fast. Beautiful day - about 67F and sunny ... I hope you are having a good week! | | Comments(2) |

1:03:12. Because I was teaching this morning I did not take my chances with the snakes on my trail (not quite like on a plane ;-)). But I probably will on Friday. Busy at home with now *two* patients who can't walk (Dean and Keiko - the dog), Keiko had a mass removed from her thigh/hip yesterday, it looks horrible - just like Dean after his surgery she is on pain meds, unlike Dean I have to remind her to pee. Have a great day bloggers!

| AM: (9 miles, 1:16:12). 29:24wu/28:56cd. hill sprints x 10 up a very steep (15-18% grade) hill; approximately :36-:38 each. This run was all about hills, in order to get to the steepest of the hills you have to run a whole bunch of hills. I felt horrid on my warm-up. I actually was prepared to do the workout and then take the short-cut home. By the time I finished though, I felt pretty good -- and decided to take the long way home. PM: easy 4 So very glad it is Thursday. I have so many things to do ... Happy trails bloggers!

| 1:13:04. Up the mountain on one side, on the Yeatman Trail, then down the other side to the fork in the trail, then back up and then back down. No snake sightings (yea) so pretty boring ;-) ... did see some coyotes and some pretty birds. Happy Friday bloggers!!

| AM: (8 miles, 1:11:12). Hot, sigh. For some reason, I just could not get out the door this morning (I was answering student emails and looking up papers, and just basically puttering around) - so, I finally got out at 10:30 and it was 84F, and it was 88F when I finished. It isn't super uncomfortable yet, but tomorrow will be in the 90s so it could get dicey if I don't get out earlier. I miss fall.winter.spring ... PM: easy 4. SO happy to see all the great racing going on today!! Yippee on the PRs! | | Comments(1) |
