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.

| 2:17:41. So glad to be able to run this ... I got up early, and still it was 101.2F when I finished this run -- and that is the shade temperature, it feels much hotter in the sun. But yes, it is a dry heat ;-). I ran the hilly "Anklam Loop" down to the community college and then ran 2 loops (~35 min/loop) on the dirt trails, part of the trail has been graded as it is part of the Pima College cross-country course ... but the other parts are pretty rocky, and it is super hilly - sort of like a golf course with rock - my favorite ;-). I saw a young woman out feeding her goats -- so cool -- she had males and milking females, plus babies!! I am so jealous. AND, the best thing ever? A group of guys from New Mexico were roasting Hatch chiles at the bottom of the 2 mile hill back up to my house. The smell gave me strength up the hill -- I can't wait for dinner tonight, we are going to buy a couple dozen and make enchiladas!! I hope you are all having a good day. MEB ROCKS! | | Add Comment |

| 1:10:45. Hilly recovery run. I am accepting my new job today. Because I am committed to teaching 2 courses this coming Fall I won't start full-time until December/January, but I will be starting part-time in October. Very excited, but nervous. Happy Humpday! | | Comments(2) |

| 1:06:44. Nice day! It is actually 78F in the morning these days, makes all the difference! Got a new car today - well, Dean got a new(er) used car, and I bought his from him. Classes start on Monday - I am not ready at all. I have two classes this fall, one of them a new class (means a lot of prep) and my PhD class (hard class, lot of prep and just hard material). Tomorrow is new student orientation -- so I have to "meet and greet" -- then, hopefully sneak off to get some work done! I think I will be starting my new job 1/2 time at the end of October, and then full-time after the end of the semester (December/January). Exciting times ahead -- well, and a little scary! | | Add Comment |
