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.

Nice run with Dean. I was feeling pretty tired today -- so I slowed him down a lot - even so, he did not drop me on the hills - he is a nice guy.

51:35 - long 5.5 but not quite 6. Ran to Liberty Park and then tried to find an ice-free zone -- not easy. Pretty slow going because of the slippery sidewalks and deep snow, but still a very nice day!!

On my way to Nashville for a few days. I am on a dissertation committee - and our student is defending on Friday, yea! Also trying to finish up some papers with some colleagues and a concentrated couple of days working will help us a lot!

45:38 - long 5 (am not sure how long these runs actually are - but with the extra O2 (and less mileage as of late) I might have been running about 8:30's or so)

Last run here in Nashville, probably have run almost 1.5 miles or so more than I have estimated, but it really doesn't matter!

The defense went well, we have let another PhD loose in the world! Got a lot of work done this week, made real progress on a few papers that will be submitted in the next couple of months ... concentrated time really helps things get finished.

Pretty sure the weather will make today a difficult travel day (raining here in the Southeast and snow there in the West)! Luckily, I have lots to do to keep occupied, now that I am on a roll work-wise!

Can't wait to see how Randy and Sean are doing at Nationals!
