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.

| 1:58:45. My adductor still hurts, but it is better today. Dean and I ran together for about 75 mins, then he went to work and I added on a few miles to get in 14 ... I ran the last 20` hard. We ran on a trail that I had run a couple weeks ago, still trying to find the 5.3 mile loop the hiking book talks about ... still did not find the loop. Footing is by and large pretty good on most of these trails though - I would rate it a 15-20 sec/mile slow down trail ;-). Still don't have internet service, we are living out of boxes. This will last for a while as I don't have time to unpack -- and probably won't have a lot of time until after the semester is over. I don't like it, but am trying to adjust. Have a great week bloggers!

| AM: (9.5+, 1:26:59). Easy run up Yeatman trail and back + 8 x ~100m strides. PM: (4.5 miles easy). Probably at Reid Park ... much closer to home so I can run as long as I want no matter how late it is!! Woke up this morning and heard a weird sound outside of the sliding glass door of our bedroom ... looked out and saw a family of deer munching away about 50 ft away ... very cool. The babies were quite pushy with their mom, they wanted to be fed right now. I have never seen nursing deer before. Very cool morning.

| 1:12:24. Did a route discovery run! I was suppose to run a 7 mile recovery run ... but my new route is more of an 8 mile recovery run. Very cool run. Very hilly, very good training, I am "very" excited! It was hard, but all I could think of was, "I am going to get so strong!!". I finally got the kitchen unpacked. Yea.

| AM: (10.5 miles, 1:32:21) . 29:06 wu + strides 3 x 10` @ 1/2 marathon pace w/3` recovery + 24:16 cd. I went to the track so I could ensure the proper pace ... instead of 10` I did 2400 meters 10:57 (7:17 pace), 10:56 (7:16 pace), 10:59 (7:20 pace). The mile split for my last one was 7:13 ... my last 800 was not good at all. Dean was at the track and he said it looked pretty easy, I am not sure "easy" would be my definition, I wanted it to be a little easier ... but I was pretty relaxed and the first 3 miles felt pretty good. PM: (4 miles, easy). Have a happy day bloggers.

1:14:47. Got lost, on a trail, in the very early dawn ... bad news because I was 15 mins late for a conference call!! But, all is well that ends well. I am afraid they are going to take my drivers license away (because of my lack of direction). Very busy today. Hopefully we will have internet next week ... no satellite (because I can't connect to my work computer using satellite service and it is SLOW), I considered mobile wireless, but it is slow and expensive -- however, I found a local company that has a few wireless towers around the city and basically they mount an antenna on your house - it will be FAST ... faster than DSL (he said DSL is a Pinto and their service is an F-16).. Anyway -- I have to run to yet another meeting. I will be preblogging my run for tomorrow, since I won't be able to log in again until Monday.
Happy weekend bloggers!

AM: 9miles -- got a little lost, with Dean, ~ 79 mins). Found some more cool places to run ... very hilly, great training.
PM: (4 miles -- see above ~ 35-40 mins). flat run on a park that is set up with a few miles of trails for handicap use ... it is so neat, all wheelchair accessible with voice displays for visually impaired people and just a very nice idea. About 1 - 1.5 miles from my house, the outer trails are dirt (about 1.5 miles worth of trails), the inner trail is ashpalt (about 1 mile).
