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.

| at least 8.5 -- I did my old time 8 mile loop and added on (it was longer than 1/2 mile, but I don't know by how much). I really pushed the hills, it hurt but I did it. I felt a couple of twinges here and there, but even though it was tough it was 10000000000000 times better than the fe so I sucked it up. Happy Sunday bloggers! | | Comments(1) |

| 41:17 (21:04/20:13). Ran down to near the track and back, it is much easier to run up this hill home when I haven't done a track workout. Tonight I will do another 50 glorious minutes on the elliptical. Should be a good week this week, I run 3 days in a row (supplemented with 50-105` of elliptical or water running to make sure I get 90 to 2 hours workout total) and then 4 whole days in a row after a day off from running (I am not sure yet whether or not I will take a day off from cross-training, it depends on how bored I am with it ;-)). Did not sleep well last night - we were woken up at 2AM with a chorus of coyotes (at least 20 of them -- maybe even more). They were right outside our house and across the street in the wash, it was pretty cool. Have a wonderful start to the week bloggers. | | Comments(5) |

| 59:03 (+ 1 hour of pool running). Tough run, but fun. I am back to
the trails!! I ran about 35 mins and then hit a series of trails near
the track. I ended up bushwacking it a little, but it was ok. An easy
introduction back to trail running. I LOVED it. No snakes, no falls,
just me and the beautiful fall weather. I was famished after my
pool run. I ate my lunch a little early because of it ... hopefully my
banana and apple will hold me over until dinner!
I hope you are having a wonderful day.

~45 mins + 1:05 pool running in my new "aqua running shoes" - supposedly they increase water resistance by 20-30% ... it was a little harder, but not "that" much different. I have been a good semi-injured runner - I have been wearing my orthotics (not when I run) all week (which means I had to wear real shoes and not my birkenstocks ...), so far so good, I guess. I don't feel any different, but I have only had a slight "twinge" of the old pain so I guess it could be working. It has been about a year-and-a-half since I wrote this on my blog, but I since I had another basal cell carcinoma removed today I will say it again: wear your sunscreen bloggers. Even though this one was not actually on a "sun-exposed" part of my body, I still think that prevention is important, so I just want to remind you all. (if you saw how ugly the scars are after they remove these little buggers it might inspire you even more ;-)).

| 59:32. Very nice run, very hilly, very hard, but very enjoyable. I can't wait until I can feel this good after running 70 mpw again. No cross-training -- bye bye elliptical (until next Monday?). Have a good Friday bloggers.

| No watch, just an easy run on a beautiful day. I got out late (because I was watching the rally to restore sanity/fear) -- and now I am on my way to do some water running (hopefully 1:20 mins to make 2 hours for the day, but I am getting hungry so I am not sure I can make it that long). Have a great day bloggers! | | Add Comment |
