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.

~ 38 mins. I wanted to try to jog a little yesterday, but I was still weak and nauseated so I decided to wait one more day. It wasn't as bad as I expected, I did not feel much worse running than I do just walking around ;-). I think at this point much of the nausea is due to the antibiotics - luckily, I spoke with the doctor and he said I only need to take them for a couple more days. The swelling in my throat has gone down so I can swallow, breath, and eat normally again. It will likely take me about 2 weeks to get my mileage up to normal again, but I will be happy just to run and live my normal life again. I am grateful that it wasn't worse. When I talked to the doctor on Thursday he said that it would take a while to feel better. I guess since I could have ended up in the hospital - which would have hampered my training in months instead of days - I am happy with just being behind a couple of weeks of training. I am on my way into work ... now I am even further behind ;-). I hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day and enjoy your family day today!

| 50:41 -- was probably a little longer than 5.5, but it wasn't quite 6. Dean had made a very convincing argument about how I shouldn't run more than 5 today ... but I am stubborn and ran al little more just because. My lungs feel fine, my legs feel fine, I am still just a little weak, and maybe a little dehydrated (because my weight was 126 today and I am pretty sure I did not lose that much weight last week). Happy End of Summer everyone! (it has been under 100 since last Friday ... ahhhh).

| 1:01:58 (31:42/30:16). Awwww. It was a balmy 78F and I felt pretty good this morning. I am still not completely back in terms of energy but I am feeling so much better. I will likely take it a little easy this week, ease back into the mileage, but I am expecting to be back up to my "usual" by next week. I am not sure that my first race in October will be what I was hoping, but it will be fine and I will just have to use it as a gauge and not look for PRs for a while ... the joys of running. Have a wonderful week bloggers!

| 1:03:16 (can't give out and back splits because I added on around the park before I went up to my house -- some friends were out with their dogs and I had to say hi!). Things are really busy bloggers, all I can say is that teaching and research don't mix well ... not with living life anyway. I miss you all!

| 1:19:45. Outstanding run. Didn't really feel as easy as my pre-illness memory of 9 miles, but it didn't feel bad either. I am kind of liking not having to schedule my second run during my class prep time -- but I miss the runs a little ... next week, back to the grind. Short info: we might have a new house here ... nice mountain views ... very different runs, in the mountains. More later! Happy running bloggers.

| I don't know what the time was right now ... it was normal pace, a little hot today so maybe it was slower. I needed to get home so I could get to work early, what else is new? Now I have to go home and try to eat ...to do it all over again tomorrow. Is it December yet? Have a great weekend bloggers!

| 1:03:02 (37:25/35:36). Hmmmm, one thing I hate more than heat is wind, worse than wind is hot and windy!! A little warm (91F when I finished), there is a big storm blowing in so the wind was pretty rough ... headwind for the first 2 miles (which did mean a nice tailwind the last 2 miles that are uphill -- so that was good). It kind of sounds like I am complaining, but I am really not. All and all, I am still just thankful to be running ... and feeling so much better! Happy Weekend bloggers, I have to hurry and get to work before the football fans get there and take all the parking spaces! | | Comments(3) |
