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.

| 1:13:30. I wanted so much to run at least 10 ... but, I woke up this morning with a super bad hip/lower back problem. It was so painful. I did something I never do - I took an aleve and waited an hour and then ran -- not the smartest thing (because you can injure yourself even more - and I am not supposed to take NSAIDS) -- but, seriously - I wanted to run! It actually hurt more to walk than to run, and I really could have run longer, but I thought it probably would have been dumb(er) to keep running until it hurt. So, I just appreciated what I had and enjoyed the little run I was able to do ... Keiko (our Ridgeback) is not doing well. We are saying good-bye to her this weekend. It is a pretty tough time. This whole year has been tough. Happy Memorial day bloggers, stay safe, enjoy your runs. | | Comments(1) |

| AM: (8 miles). Nice run, although it is back in the 100F - as long as I get out early it is still pretty nice in the morning (76F or so). PM: easy 4. beautiful afternoon -- once the sun went down it was very pleasant! Nothing exciting to note ... except that Dean is going to Flagstaff for a conference this week, and he bought me a plane ticket to come up Friday afternoon! So, I am going to spend Friday and Saturday night in the tall cool pines. I have been taking vitamin B and upping my electrolytes and I feel much better on my runs (yea!). I do have to back off the pace, and not run as long as I would like (so I can make it through the day without crashing too much) - but I am grateful I can run. I hope you are all doing well!! | | Comments(1) |

| ~65 mins. Dragging a bit today, but still enjoy being out! I hope you are all doing well. I am writing qualifying exam questions for the PhD students ... the only less fun thing would be to be actually taking the exam ;-). | | Comments(1) |

AM: 7 miles. Yesterday was a good day, today is not as good. very very very tired. PM: easy 4. Happy running bloggers. Again, I am happy to be able to run. I am sure I will be able to jog a little through the bitter end of this treatment, but I am getting more and more tired, and I am not sure if I will be able to run in the PM's for much longer. I am going to try to at least walk in the afternoons, I need to keep the time available -- e.g., not fill it with work which will be hard to let go after I am cured and back to normal again. My skin is doing really well, but I am very sore. Emotionally, it is very difficult to drag my butt out every day to drive to get "poisoned" ;-) - but the alternative pretty much sucks too ... only 3.5 weeks to go (but who's counting). At least this weekend I will be able to be in the cool pines of Flagstaff!! Hope you are all doing well!!

AM: 7 miles on the Urban Trail in COOL Flagstaff!! PM: 3.5. Very tired this afternoon, decided to play it a little on the safe side and take it easy - although it did not feel easy, 7000ft and hilly ;-). Had a really nice dinner with Greg and Tracy McMillan -- Greg turned his book into the publisher on Friday and we celebrated! I am not sure when it will be out, but you know I will tell you all first! His new calculator will be coming out soon too, I will be putting on my statistician hat and checking some things out for him first, but I would guess sometime in the next few weeks it will be ready to be beta-tested. I still need to sift through the results from the Rome Diamond League, Pre, and Nashville Distance Carnival results -- good track and field this weekend!! Some more people qualified for the trials and Rupp ran a 12:58 5K!
