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.

actually 1/2 marathon pace. Ran on the Jordan River Trail. Started in Redwood Park and ran to Waldon Park and back. Pretty strong headwind on the way out, but nice tailwind on most of the way back. Very nice run. I was a little hesitant about this workout after Thursday's run, so I had an alternate plan of running 12 miles with 2 miles at 1/2 marathon pace if I felt like it. But I felt good, and was pretty happy with the effort today. I did have a little blood sugar problem after my run last Sunday - today I actually used a cliff shot at about 1:15 into the run (something I think I have actually only done 1 or 2 times before ever, and then usually when I was running 16 miles or more). I don't know if it actually helped during the run - but I felt a lot better after the run and I think it might have just been maintaining glycogen levels ... Now I have to pack, I am leaving for DC very early in the morning on Monday and will be there all week.

| 45:42 Ran to Liberty Park and then did an outside loop. Felt remarkably good today - despite the fact that it was rainy and dark during my run. Ran pretty slow, mainly because I was nervous about crossing streets and such -- even with my reflective vest I don't trust these drivers in the light, let alone in the dark!! | | Add Comment |

definately a long 7 in 1:04:19
Ran in DC with a woman I work with. She has a 2:59 marathon under her belt, and although she hasn't been training consistently for a while, and I told I was going to be slow, she still pushed the pace somewhat. A lot of city running to get the bike trail which is a pain, but slowed her down ;-).
All and all, feeling really good today, despite not getting much sleep last night.

3.xx mile tempo run on the Mall! My friend from work had a Garmin -- I wanted to do somewhere between a 3 and 4 mile tempo run @ 7:17-7:35 pace. We did longer than 3 miles, maybe 3.5 but since I wasn't sure exactly how much more than 3 miles I just am calling it 3 miles. The pace was not as consistent as I thought it would be -- I have never used a Garmin before - but it was pretty cool have her call my pace out to me! The first mile averaged about 7:30-7:35, the second mile was right on 7:30 and the third mile was between 7:00 - 7:12 ... I did not mean to do that and the 7:00 min part made me feel really sick ;-) ... but I was pretty happy overall, I could have run another mile if I had the time ... but we had to get back to pack up and get to our meetings.
Tonight I am staying with some friends - they live up in Maryland near Rock Creek Park, it will be a nice run tomorrow and I can't wait to spend some time with my friends here. | | Add Comment |

long 5 in 43:42
Ran on the Rock Creek Trail -- very very pleasant run -- even though it was a little humid. It rained here last night and so even though the temperature was much more comfortable (probably in the high 70's) the humidity made it a little hot, especially since I have become acclimated to the dry air of Utah and am sort of wimpy now in the humidity. But, the run went well, I felt pretty good.
Lost my wallet yesterday and had to get my passport FedEx'd to me so I can get on the plane to come home today ... and I had to spend the day cancelling my credit cards yesterday. The worst thing is that I lost my driver's license that is expiring next week -- and now I have to try to get my Utah license without another license to turn in ... so I think I need to go through the whole driving part of the driving test ...

| 1:13:26 - long 7.5 in Liberty park (2 outer loops + 1 inner loop + 3 miles to and from my house). Wore tights since wet and 42 is colder than 42 ;-) ran the whole time. Legs felt ok ... not great, but not horrible.
