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.

| 1:42:10 (52:25/49:45). Hilly 2 loops ... the last 2 miles of each loop are uphill with hills, and to make it worse there was a super tough headwind today (a storm is blowing through). I was a little worried when I saw the first split, since it was faster (by over a minute) than what I have been running this in. Plus, the 2nd loop was with my orthotics. So, I was pleasantly surprised to see how much faster the 2nd loop was. Slight blister on my right foot from the orthotic, but not nearly as bad as a few weeks ago, so I guess I am getting used to them. My flight was delayed out of Atlanta last night so I got home nearly an hour later than planned (about 10:30) ... it was a very long day (I got up at 3:30 my time and got to bed at 12:30AM). But, I slept really well last night so I felt pretty good today. I hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday! | | Comments(4) |

| I went to the pool for an hour to run, but there was an aerobic class (deep end) going on so I decided to do it instead. It was great though, my water running shoes really help add a lot of resistance so it was a nice workout. We also did about a 1/2 hour of abs which was awesome! I am super busy today .... I hope you are all doing well!

| AM: (8.5, 1:16.54). Ran a 6 mile loop and then put in my orthotics for another 20`. Did 6 x :30 w/1` recovery. Nice and chilly today - 38F ... perfect temps for a run. PM: (3 miles easy) ... probably in the dark and very late. Have a GREAT day bloggers!

| 1:04:12. Beautiful morning. I ran up the mountain on my favorite trail. I heard a noise so I stopped and saw a huge buck heading up one of the mountians... then as I stood there quietly I saw a bunch more (they blend so well with the mountain that it takes a while to spot them. Eventually I counted 12-13 ... wow!! They were coming down one mountain and through the wash up to the other side. I have never seen a herd that big outside of the Rocky Mountains. A good omen perhaps? We are heading out to Flagstaff today ... I wish all of you and your families the most joyous of holidays. I love Thanksgiving and am very grateful and thankful for you, my running family. | | Comments(3) |

AM: (8.5 miles, 1:14:55 39:32/35:23). Started snowing last night just as we got into town, it was beautiful. Woke up and it was 11F, so I waited until 10 to start my run, the sun had helped with much of the ice and it was a much more balmy 17F ;-). A little slippery in town, but most of the trail I was running on was dirt, so it was manageable. Much more difficult as I climbed into the mountains -- it was steep (and hard because of the 8000ft, I was huffing and puffing and sliding all around). There were several cross-country ski tracks and a few other runners had already run on the trail, so I did not get lost ;-). PM:(3.5 miles). It was much much colder this evening, but I was so thankful to be running that I lost track of time (and it was hard to get to my watch with my gloves a sleeves pulled down ;-)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

| 1:02:19 (33:03/29:16) Still lots of snow in the forest (and higher elevations). In town the snow on the road/trail is almost gone ... so it was a muddy run while I was in town and still snowy and even more icy as I got into the mountains. Perfect temps for running though - 24F and sunny. It was 9F when I got up, so again, I enjoyed my morning and did not run until nearly 10AM! I love holidays. Dean and his son are on their way to the Grand Canyon ... I had to work, but it is fine, I am even hoping I can sneak a nap in there somewhere. Have a wonderful post-thanksgiving bloggers!

AM: (6 miles, 52:56). Ran up Mars Trail to Lowell Observatory. The trail map showed three arrows for this trail ... I have been running 2 arrow trails and they weren't really that bad ... but there is a LARGE difference between 2 and 3 arrows (apparently). It was very steep and with about a foot of snow ... the snow had been packed down by what appeared to be a sled (which makes sense because it was a very steep incline) -- very good workout, I huffed and puffed for 3 miles ... and then slowly made my way down (it was slippery). I enjoyed it very much. PM:(3.5 miles easy in my orthotics). Hope you are all enjoying the rest of the weekend!!
