4 mile: 28:10 (2005)
10K: 43:33 (2010)

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.

1:48:04 (56:26/51:38). 76F and raining -- it was so nice! Humid, but so much cooler than I am used to these days. Second long run in as many weeks where I was soaked most of the run. I don't mind, summer rains are pretty nice. Ran with Dean for about 2.5 miles - he hasn't been running the past couple days and he took off, usually we run really really slowly the first mile or so, but he was just antsy I guess. I was glad I got to slow down some after he turned to go back. I ran from the hotel to the Washington Memorial, then to the Lincoln Memorial, and then I kept going past The Watergate and turned towards Georgetown. I wanted to run on the C&O canal, but since it was pouring I thought it might be pretty muddy, so instead I opted for the Capitol Cresent trail (bike trail) to Fletchers Landing (got water here) and then back. I am estimating it was between 12 and 13 miles ... Felt pretty darn good today. My back only hurt for about 2 hours early in the morning ... once I stretched and started walking around it felt much better.
This conference (The American Statistical Association - Joint Statistical Meetings) is the largest of the stats meetings - this year we have about 6000 people preregistered from all over the world. It is the one time to see all of your friends from school and previous jobs! In the past I have spent the whole 4/5 days going to talks and taking short courses ... but now I am missing many of the talks because I am on two committees and we have meetings all the time. Tonight is the very exciting "ASA Biometrics Section Executive Committee Meeting (closed)" - I know you wish you could come, but it is a closed meeting (because we talk about very exciting things --- NOT). Tommorrow I have the "ASA Council of Chapters Meeting (part closed/part open)" - all day!! I am hoping to at least get to see the keynote speaker on Tuesday and some talks that my friends are giving!
Happy rest of the weekend bloggers!

1:10:21. Switched my usual Tuesday workout with Wednesday because I was so tired last night I just couldn't get up eary this morning. It was a little warmer than Sunday, but despite the humidity it was SO much cooler than Tucson. Nice run, ran back to Georgetown. Tomorrow I am going to taxi it down to the dirt trail and then run back ... my legs really don't like all the asphalt and concrete ...
The absolute HIGHLIGHT of my day today?? Having lunch with the beautiful, funny, and speedy Argentine Rocket!!! What a lovely person!

AM: (10+ miles, 1:32:09). Total this was probably closer to 10.5, but oh well. I overestimated how long it would take me to get home after doing the faster bits, so again I overshot the distance a tad. 5 x 5` SS pace (I averaged around 7:40's) w/3` recovery. 24:14 wu/28:36 cd.
PM: (3 miles easy). I will definately wait until the sun goes down, after so many lower temp days it feels mighty hot here to me right now.
I will not be able to catch up on all the blogs until this weekend, I am giving a talk this afternoon, and - as usual - I am not prepared.
Have a nice day bloggers! | | Add Comment |

1:02:59 (31:46/31:13). Nice recovery run. AHHHHH. Nice 78F today -- what a difference. I knew it was going to be cooler today, since last night @ 11PM it was "almost" as cool outside as inside! This I can handle! Happy weekend bloggers.
