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.

2:03:21. (Maybe farther than 14 miles, as this is based on ~ 9 min/miles, and apparently I am running a bit faster than that, given yesterday ... But I am loathe to change my usual estimates - I am a creature of habit!). Trail run on Campbell Mesa, pretty much the easiest set of trails in Flagstaff ... I still huffed and puffed up hills, but it was a good day, my first 2 hour run in 2 months! I was super tired by last 18 mins, but happy to be in the mountains! Happy Sunday bloggers. On a grosser note, Lucy found something very dead - she rolled in it, and carried its head (?) around (Dean thinks woodchuck - I don't know as extraction of dead carcasses from dogs mouths clearly falls in the domain of "Dean's job"). It was gross, and frankly, I can't quite bring myself to pet her (despite washing her and feeding her basil to help clean her mouth out). Sorry, but today I am thinking dogs are just super gross.

| AM:(9 miles, 1:17:43). I found a wonderful trail today. Started up (I do mean UP) for 3 miles on a wonderful forest service road. Then it flattened out a bit and came to a bunch of trails on top of a ridge. The trails were a little harder than the FR road, but it was awesome, and pretty (though I couldn't see too scenery because I had to watch my footing :)). LUCKY ME! PM: easy 4.

| I had a not-so-great work week (I am working from Flagstaff), which means many many conference calls). But, running is great! I miss you bloggers, more later! | | Comments(4) |

I wanted to run 8 today -- but I had to sneak this run in between bunches of conference calls and a little lunch date with Tracy McMillan. Then, at night, I met up with Dean who was attending the McMillan Running Coaches clinic (he is not a coach, but Greg invited him to come and participate - because he has been running for so long -- because he is old, he he; seriously, he has actually been running for about 40 years now). Anyway - the attendees had a dinner and I joined up with them. One of the coaches was a coach from Yuma, AZ who is the coach of the state/US boys champion in the mile, Bernie Montoya (http://parser.dyestat.com/search.jsp?athID=166783#.UeQLNTs7hg0) he ran a 4:01 mile last year, he also is the state boys champion at the 2 mile (9:00 min), and a host of other distances as well. His coach, Chris, was a super nice guy, and very knowledgeable about running in general, and coaching. Fun dinner!! Happy Friday bloggers! | | Add Comment |
