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.

1:02:31 - ran with Dean -- lots of hills up to 11th and then to City Creek Canyon and back.  Nice day!

45:13 easy run on BST (before snow starts falling - actually before the rain/snow mixture starts which is going to be worse!).  Two of the hilly loops.

43:02 -- took it pretty slow today because the roads were icy!  I even wore my wrist splint (that I generally reserve for the trails).  The wrist that I broke in September (on the trails!) has been really sore and swollen the last few days, I wonder if I will forever be able to predict the weather now??

 I hope everyone stays safe on the roads and warm!

Ran pretty easily to Liberty Park, did 2 3/4 loops and then came home.  I have been trying to run the same time from the park (uphill) as to the park and have been pretty successful lately.  It generally just means I take it easier the 1/2 of the run and then work harder (not too much, but  not back off) on the second 1/2.  It is nice to be able to do!  I hope I can keep it up once the mileage picks back up.  I am hoping to hit in the 60s as I rebuild base over the next couple of months.

 Have a great Thursday everyone!

pretty nice run up Emmigration Canyon -- hilly and tough, but slow enough to be nice.

I am having some issues with my quads ... they are way too tight and it is causing me to have pretty severe knee pain at the end of the day (after I have been sitting for a long time).  I need to use my foam roller and stretch more ... I am writing to embed the idea in my conscience mind!!

Have a nice weekend everyone.

44:54 tough 5 miles - much of it in 5-6 inches of snow - well when it wasn't in about the same amount of cold slush! Loved it though, really pretty and fairly peaceful except on the main streets. Only slipped and fell once on 400 S -- it was pretty funny, I hit hard but only on my knee and was thankfully wearing my wrist splint!

After the run I shoveled snow ... how many cross-training miles do I get for shoveling snow for 45 mins ;-)

Drive and run carefully everyone!
