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.

| Stupendeously good, albeit hilly, run in 2:16:56. This is my last horrible-two-job week. Next week is still two jobs, but without the additional stress of preparation for lectures. I do, however, have about 20 hours of training (most of it online) and a report due for work, to temper my no stress hope a bit ;-). Happiest of weeks to you bloggers! We have a new dog. I found her in the middle of the road on Saturday. I think someone dumped her, a lot of people dump their unwanted pets in the mountains, thinking a coyote or mountain lion will "take care of them" - or cars. She is so very sweet, though smelly, not house trained, and in heat. I don't think she was abused, but maybe neglected. She is part pitbull and part mastiff? lab? she has a HUGE head -- and if she weren't the sweetest dog ever, she would be scarey. | | Comments(1) |

| AM: 8 miles. 10 x 1` hill repeats. Ouch, my bum hurts. PM: easy 4. By the way, it is not easy to have a dog that takes a lot of time (untrained) when you work the kind of schedule we do ... so, she is off to doggy boot-camp for a week or so. Her name is Lucy. Happy trails bloggers, it was pretty darn cold here in Tucson today!! | | Comments(1) |

AM: 8 miles - so, Dean ran his first race in nearly 3 years this morning. It was at the university - he was looking for a fast 5K because he and Greg McMillan are trying to find races that they can win (not easy to do when you are 53, by the way ;-)). So, Dean thought that this 5K that is sort-of affiliated with the Tucson marathon (which is tomorrow) would be just the ticket (since most of the fast people are running the half or marathon). Well, these darn high school runners showed up and stole his thunder! But, he did come in 3rd, and we have "just the race" for him to win (we met someone who works for Pam Reed - the race director of the Tucson marathon - and he is sponsoring a race in January) -- I told Dean that the only thing that would ruin it for him was if Greg found out and showed up on race day (ha ha ha, I seriously debated setting this up, but I really do want Dean to "win" the bet!). PM: 4 miles Even though it doesn't look like it, I am actually getting much faster. My usual runs are taking less time, even though I am running at the same effort. "sort-of" excited to go to the track and check things out! Last night we met up with some friends of ours from Nashville (well, now they live in San Francisco - but we met them in Nashville). They are in town for the Tucson marathon this Sunday!
