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.

| 2:09:52 Tried to run at Jeremy Ranch Road on our way back from Deer Valley retreat but the road was a muddy bog ... so we drove down to the Jordan River Trail -- started at Redwood park and ran to 215 and then back. Last 2 miles were at 1/2 marathon - marathon pace -- felt bad. I think I ran too fast on the way out (1:06:11/1:03:41; 8:16/7:57 -- but only the last 2 miles were fast, the other miles after the turnaround were more likely 8:45 pace) so the last 2 miles hurt more than they were supposed to ... was glad when I was finished.

| 48:18 - easy run around liberty park. Was not nearly as bad of a run as I was worried it was going to be ... took it easy and enjoyed the morning, the mountains were snow-topped, it was cold (which I like) and was actually a very pleasant run. | | Add Comment |

1:35:28 (11.3 miles by Anna's forrunner-thingamajig)
4 x 1 mile w/800 recovery (7:17, 7:15, 7:13, 7:15) + 3 x 200 w/200 recovery
Pace at sea level for these is supposed to be 6:53 - 7:08, Greg said to give myself 6-8 secs for altitude so I did ... all and all I felt pretty good, I could have gone faster on the first couple but I wanted to make sure I finished feeling strong, so I guess I feel vindicated from my less-than-stellar workout last Thursday. One more "key" workout to go and then I am ready to race ... I think. I have been tired lately, and my calves are absolutely killing me ... so I am hoping I can hold out my fitness for another couple of weeks, I have been worried that I peaked too soon, I felt so strong until last week ... I did finally find an elevation profile for the 1/2 marathon -- it looks like a rolling course with a small overall gain of 118 feet with only one major hill (at about mile 4) -- so it could actually be a fast course if run smart.
It was beautiful today - I couldn't feel my legs at the start, but once the sun came up (and I got warmed up) it was really nice! | | Comments(4) |

| 64:13 long 7 -- did 2 laps in liberty park (about 3.6 miles?) + added 4 mins on to get it closer to 7. Felt pretty good, although I was thinking today, running - in general - does not feel as "easy" as I would like it to ... no matter how slowly I run.
