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.


Personal:

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

I was just starting to feel a little better from my cold and Dean came home (at 11:30PM), and coughed all night!!  So, both of us were awake all night, and had to get up super early for work.  Glad it is a short week!

 

Happy running blggers !

Happy Thanksgiving!!! We are laying low, watching movies, and hanging out.  I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving.

Tomorrow I am going to begin my trading for the 50k in February.  I am not sure how my back, knee and feet are going to hold up, but I thought I would ease into some trail running and add on some speedwork after my next set of xrays. I am excited!  And very thankful!

On the Yeatman trail, both harder and easier than I had remembered!

There were so many people out on the trail, LOVE to them enjoying a beautiful (65F) day outside rather than fighting over stuff in a mall!

Went and had dinner with our neighbors ... The ones with the escaped horses a month or so ago.  They had gotten some chickens a few months ago too, and the are getting ready to lay ... One of them ended being a rooster, I know this because I have heard him every morning for a couple weeks ... I love my neighborhood!
