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.

| Beautiful run, so grateful I can run my usual hilly route again! (though I am trying to keep it on the short side, while I evaluate how my body handles the mileage. So far, not bad at all!! Yea!

| AM: 8 miles -- another beautiful morning
PM: 3.5 easy
I seem to be ok with this current mileage, but I will admit I am truly exhausted. I can't tell if it is clinical, or because I have worked nearly 53 days straight, or both :) - I am going to running camp in two weeks -- I can't wait, I am going to try to leave my work phone at home.
So, tomorrow is Dean's birthday - I have done something way too extravagent ... but I have done it because for the previous 3 birthdays he has gotten the short-end of the stick for birthday dinners. I have always gotten to go to my favorite restaurant - which is always perfect - and I have tried to take him to good ones, but they have fallen short. Tomorrow we are not only going to a restaurant that is quite fancy, but I have organized a "chef's table" too! The head chef at this place is my hair-dressers husband. I called him a couple of weeks ago, we laid out favorite foods - and he is going to prepare a menu just for us. It is a 5-6 course affair, and they really pamper us. I have also invited a couple that I know Dean really likes - to provide social activity (so I don't have to :) -- actually, they are simply much more interesting than me - unless I am talking about the color of Lucy's poo, of course). It is going to be a complete surprise (keeping this a secret has been really really hard!!!). Fifty-three (and not paying for college anymore) has its privilages!!
Happy Saturday, bloggers!
