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.

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

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!
