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.

| 2:05:39. Ran on Campbell Mesa, first 1:20 mins were in a beautiful, sunny, 82F and the last 40 mins were in a thunderstorm ... it was lovely! There was snow on the top of Humphreys Peak (~13,000 ft) and quite cool the rest of the day! Greg and the people we are renting the house from had tractor races in the afternoon -- first, there was a ~400 m drag race and then a series of cross-country bumpy time trials in the prairie fields between the two houses. I guess you had to be there, but it was very fun! Dean got the Silver!! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and Happy 4th of July everyone! | | Comments(2) |

| AM: (9.5 miles, 1:25:46). 43:31/40:05. Should have just gone the extra 1/2 mile for an even 10 miles ... but, I have a lot of work to do today. PM: easy 4. So very very happy that the monsoons are here - Arizona is ready to burn up without some good rains. I hope they last at least 5 weeks. There was snow on top of Humphreys Peak - which happens to be right outside my window right now (it is the highest peak in Arizona at just under 14 feet).
Happy week bloggers!

| 1:10:xx. Early morning today - we drove down to Phoenix to see John-of-the-ART. OUCH. I have had some problems with my left leg, starting in my foot and moving all the way up. Apparently, I have a serious case of PF (I thought it was bruising from my orthotic). I got some shock wave treatment that hurt like the dickens ... he says I need to come in at least 4-5 more times over the next couple of weeks ... ouchie. I hope you had a wonderful day.
I will post a picture of Humphreys Peak for Dan tomorrow ... in the meantime, check out the 5000ft x 50 mile sand storm that hit Phoenix yesterday here.

| AM: (10 miles, 1:30:22). Up the Arizona Trail ... pretty sure I was over 8500ft by the time I turned around ... 30 mins in the thunderstorm hit, lots of rain, and then I spent 15 mins running in a hail storm ... it stung a little ;-). PM: easy 4. Happy Thursday bloggers! | | Comments(2) |

| 1:09:24. Probably a little longer than 7.5, but not quite 8 so I only get credit for 7.5 ;-). I went exploring on the trails near our house, found an AWESOME route. Ended up on FSR A1a -- it is a pretty popular road for the McMillan athletes. In order to get there I had to run on a mixture of trails and a less travelled FSR (forest service road) that wound through this most awesome meadow of aspen trees and a most amazing campsite. The views were spectacular and it really doesn't take long to get completely away from civilization (granted we are already in a pretty remote place, but 3 miles into the forest and you are away from everything!). So cool. I have to run, I am going to check out the results from the Paris Diamond League track meet! Happy Friday bloggers. | | Comments(1) |

AM: (8 miles, 1:12:02). Rambling run through the forest. Humphreys Peak photo for Dan (this is the view from our front porch) PM: easy 4 I have so much work to do! I have a couple of looming deadlines and only 2 more weeks to get my two manuscripts finished (my summer projects include two papers that are 1/2 finished - I need to get the submitted before the semester starts) ... I think I will sit outside and write on the porch! Happy Saturday bloggers! | | Comments(3) |
