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.

oh mercy!  where did the week go?  

This run was super hot (as are all runs here in Tucson now -- unless you hear differently just assume that all runs are somewhere between 90-100F - maybe a little cooler if I can get out on my run before 6AM


this was a super busy week -- I somehow got swamped bigtime at work, had to go on a trip to DC, and basically was able to squeeze in running -- but not blogging :)

I have miss you.

I wanted to sneak in a 2nd run today -- because I will be traveling all day tomorrow and won't be getting into DC until 10:30PM, a little late for a 2nd run ... but, alas, I did not get out of work until 9PM, so no sneaky 2nd run for me ...

Ran very early - was a little more comfortable than usual :)  - ran to the airport.  Sat on a plane for 6 hours, sat in airports for another 4 hours ... did not get into my hotel room until nearly 11:30PM ... early morning tomorrow too ..yikes, this has not been the best week for sleep.

Most awesome run on the Rock Creek Parkway!  a little humid, but oh so much cooler than Tucson.  Slept well last night -- and even this AM.  The time change is a little challenge, but all is good.  LOVED hanging out with Lara, John, and Jeremy, Samantha and Gabe (their lovely kiddos).

Now I get to spend another 8 hours traveling!
