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.

| 2:19:48 (1:10:09/1:09:39). I ran on the Santa Cruz river trail today. It is a flat bike path that winds up and connects to the Rillato path on the NW side of town. This was the first flat run that I have done since San Diego in August. It is completely uninspiring (read, boring) but FLAT. Well, it was flat, but the gusting headwind after I turned around felt a lot like a hill! The very small negative split after the turnaround belies the difficulty of running into a headwind for 8 miles, but I was very grateful that I was able to run hard, and strong, the whole way today -- the cool 86F helps a lot! Yesterday the high was 70F!!!!! today, 90F, but still better than the height of summer. Seriously, fall in Tucson is heavenly. Happy Sunday bloggers! | | Comments(2) |

| AM: (9.5 miles, 1:21:34). 31wu/34cd. 12 x :15 w/1` recovery. Looks easy, but this was pretty much top end speed. By the last one, my legs were pretty sore. PM: easy 3.5 - I got started late, it was really dark (no street lights out here in the boonies). This week is the first week of my new training plan - excited! Greg has spent a lot of time on my new plan, I can't wait to see how it goes! | | Add Comment |

| 1:05:45. Running in the dark again! I started my new job today, whew. I never thought I would be 50 years old and working two jobs ... but here we are. If I can survive the next 2 months life will be very good. I really do think I am going to enjoy my new work life. Exciting work. Happy week bloggers! | | Comments(1) |

| AM: (10 miles 1:26:xx). I reset my watch and forgot to write down the time, doh! but, I remember what I did, because it felt hard -- harder than last week. 10 miles with the last 20` at steady state pace (just under threshold pace - last 2.x miles, my "benchmark" was 16:18, on the way out it was 18:49). PM: easy 4, again, in the dark (the one bad thing about fall). Pretty tired. I am too old for this stuff ;-) | | Add Comment |

Early morning radiation run. I have a little less flexibility in my time with my new job -- but, that is why I get paid the big bucks ;-) | | Add Comment |

| AM: (8 miles, 1:10:56). Brought carrots (and a couple apple slices) to Big Boy and CoCo ... it was a pain to carry, but I got "horse nuzzles" so it was worth it ;-). PM: easy 4. Happy weekend bloggers! | | Comments(3) |
