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.

| 1:47:16 (53:47/53:28). Jeremy Ranch Road - much harder effort than the negative split shows because I crawled up the big hills after I turned around (probably 9:15 pace) - in part because I was tired and in part because there was a stiff headwind. But, as soon as it "flattened" (all relative, since there is not really a flat stretch on this course) out I picked it up enough to make up for the slow miles! | | Comments(3) |

AM: (1:13:13, 8+ mile fast finish). Ran up Wasatch, turned around at 36:30 and then came back a different way. I was supposed to run the last 5` fast (90-95% effort) and wanted to run it on flat to uphill instead of downhill. I had forgotten that the last minute or so would be steep uphill, so part of me wishes I had rethought this ;-). I would expect that coming back the way I did added about 3/10th of a mile or so ... so not enough to bring me up to 8.5 miles for the run.
preblogging PM run
PM: (42:10, 4.5 very slow miles on the grass at Liberty Park). Sprinkling a bit ... I wish it would have rained!

| 7+, 1:04:10. Ran to Liberty Park and ran 2.5 laps on the grass on the perimeter of the park. On our way to Tucson today to look for a place to live, back this weekend!

| AM: (1:08 something. 8.5 miles). 4 mile steady state run. Was supposed to do 6 miles, but I felt awful by 4 and cut it short. We went to Reid Park and were supposed to do the workout on the 800m dirt track, but it was closed ... it took way longer than I had estimated to find it (just to be disappointed) so I was already a little "off" when we started, and I just couldn't get comfortable. I have no idea of exactly the pace, but Dean was estimating about 7:40-7:50 pace. PM: (3.5 miles, 32:00 mins). easy run, still did not feel good, but not as bad as earlier ... We are extremely busy with looking for a place to live and then we had dinner with some friends (and new colleagues). | | Add Comment |

| 1:11:something. Easy run on the path around Reid Park ... still not feeling great today ... I don't know why. I was starving today - I think the whole eating two meals a day (because of the tight schedule) is bad for me -- by dinner I am starving! Dean's son, Sam, drove in from Las Cruces (on his way to Berkeley) -- and after looking at houses all day we went to a very nice welcome party for me and another new faculty member in my department ... it was very nice.

| 1:07 - ran on the ~5K cross-country course in Reid Park, this was a very very cool run. little hills, on the grass. I ran with Dean and Sam for about 2 laps and then ran the first part of the course by myself to hit near 70` (I ran faster today). I felt MUCH better today. I wish I would have had time to meet up with LaurenO (or participate in their race) - but we just couldn't find the time ... I think we might have found a place to live, but it was down to the wire (2 hours before our plane left Tucson!). We are back home now ... tired ... it was a beautiful night here. | | Add Comment |
