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.

| 1:45:48 (8:27). Ran on the flat, marked, Rillito trail. Ended up running a somewhat unintentional progression run. Ran the first 3 miles at 9 min pace, the next 3 at 8:45 pace average, and then turned around. Ran the next 3 miles at 8:30 pace and the last 3 miles at 8:15, 7:50 and 7:27. My goal was to run the first 10 miles easy and then try to get under 8 min pace for the last 2 ... but I it kind of felt good to run just under "hard" for a longer while. All and all ... felt good today ... yea! I actually got started late because I was tracking allie during her marathon ... I was so excited for her that I could not get out until she finished ... it was worth the wait ;-) Happy Sunday bloggers! | | Comments(4) |

AM: (9.5 miles, 1:24:51). 32:34wu/34:09cd + 10 x :30 w/1` recovery. Beautiful morning for a run - 46F and sunny. I sped up a little at the end after running into Abdi - I am sure (;-)) he recognized me as a Facebook friend! PM: (easy 4). I am running in my orthotics all the time now - I don't know if they are helping, I guess we will see when I get back up to my former mileage and fitness level. I am just grateful to be running again! Gotta run, need to finish writing my final exam and I have a whole mess of things "due" this week.
Have a wonderful day bloggers!

AM: (10 miles, 1:30:04). Last 10` at 1/2 to marathon pace. Probably a little longer than 10, but not quite 10.5. PM: not sure, either 1 hour pool run with my friend who is coming into town for the weekend or 4 miles easy. Jeremy (the 11 year old) wasn't really interested in going to the pool -- so I went for an easy jog by myself instead of water jogging with his Mom ... Have a great day bloggers!

| 1:06:23 ... up the mountain! (I had to make a pit stop and forgot to stop my watch so it looks a little longer than usual). I was tired this morning, but grateful to be out on such a beautiful day! My friend from DC is visiting for the weekend, it is so much fun having her and Jeremy around. I am going to try to sneak out of work early so we can go to Old Tucson Studios this afternoon (and watch a gun fight in front of the saloon). Happy Friday bloggers! | | Comments(3) |

| AM: (8 miles, 1:10:43). PM: (4 miles easy). off to the desert museum. Congratulations to all the racers out there!! (McMillanElite woman won cross-country club nationals -- our Nan -- running for Running Republic of Boulder was 3rd overall). Men's race is right now. AWESOME high school championships. Girls winner, Aishleen (sp?) Cuffe won in an outstanding 16:53 (very tough cross-country course) and Luke Verbakis was a second-time winner in 14:58 (only the third guy in US history to win 2 years in a row). | | Comments(1) |
