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.

| Whew, after two days off (why oh why Greg, I am such a fat slob!) - it felt really good to get out again today! On Sunday we went over for a BBQ - it was a friend of a friend scenario - and it was a blast! we met some awesome people, had some really good food (they had plenty of vegetarian options for me -- including these most amazing marinated portabella mushrooms). Best yet? we were able to talk track and field for much of the time - plenty of runners there. Since the Diamond League is on right now -- there was much to talk about! The daughter (~9 years old) had a bunch of autographs from Olympic high jumpers to distance runners - so it was pretty cool! Anyway - this morning I ran 27wu/28cd and 15 x :30 w/1` recovery. Ran on the dirt, alternating slightly uphill to slightly downhill (just because that is the dirt road that is ~30mins from my house! Grin/grimace home again! I wanted to do a second run today -- but I got caught up at work. I need to get back to my routine. Especially because I need to lose this weight I have gained :) Happy Tuesday that feels like a Monday! | | Add Comment |

| 1:08:44 (35:06/33:37). I had an early morning meeting, so I decided to run after work instead of before. It was hard getting started, it was hot (97F) and still a little sunny, so it felt even hotter; once the sun started setting it was a little better. I felt "clunky" - but after the turn around, it felt a lot better, and I think I saw a "hint" (very small hint) of the runner who ran a good marathon a few weeks ago. I thought that runner was gone forever, and in her place was this old, chubby, lumbering, rickity -- you get the idea -- wogger ;-). Not that there is anything "wrong" with this old chubby wogger, mind you, she still loves running (or whatever it is called that she does) - but, she is a huge shadow of her former self. ANYWAY -- it is all good, this struggling through the Tucson summer is part of the deal to have amazingly good winters -- and it does make us tough :) Happy Thursday bloggers! | | Add Comment |

| AM: 8 miles. ~70` (no watch) PM: 3.5 miles (no watch). Easy peasy. It is hot here. It was about 90F by 9AM (which is when I finally got out the door). much hotter than that by the time I finished ... about 97F? Summer has arrived in the desert ... can't say I have missed it :) Happy weekend, bloggers!! It is track and field weekend -- continuation of the Diamond league - this time from my favorite place, Eugene, OR -- the best of the best this weekend!! more info here: http://www.oregonlive.com/trackandfield/index.ssf/2013/06/oregon_track_field_rundown_the_72.html | | Comments(3) |
