1/2 marathon: 1:34:31 (2011)
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.

| 1:14:02 -- longer route than last week (by a few blocks, probably 1/4 mile or less). Felt much better than last week - took the hills stronger and no notable pains. This is my last "down" week, next week I am back in base ... hopefully in about 3 weeks I will be much closer to 50 miles/week again. Beautiful day today -- Hope everyone has a nice Sunday.

| 48:24 ran to Liberty Park + 8 x 100 w/1` recovery. Sloppy mess in the park, especially the north side, mainly ice ... the only clear part was the sidewalk, which is a bummer - I hate running on the sidewalk! But, at least most of the sidewalks were melted, where it wasn't it was simply treacherous. It was a bit nippy today (about 17F when I finally got out the door - I took my time on my abs and weight workout this morning trying to let it warm up ;-) -- it never did). Have a good day everyone.

1:02:04 -- I think it was the same distance as Tuesdays run (I couldn't remember where we turned around then!) - I was by myself this time, I either went a bit farther or 1:30 secs slower ... doesn't really matter much, that is the beauty of base!
It was much much colder than Tuesday, temp was probably the same, but the storm is blowing in and the air was frigid! Looks like it is going to start snowing any minute now!
Drive carefully everyone.

15 mins @ steady state pace (~ 7:47 - pretty cool since this has about 1 mile uphill, some parts pretty steep, others just a grind). This was a "workout" (not really a workout, just a way to get in shape during base without peaking too early) described by Greg McMillan in Running Times this month. I wasn't sure how fast I was planning to go - I just went by feel, working hard, but not so much that it was a "workout". I have to say, I was pleasantly suprised ... but then again, it is pretty easy on "fresh" legs, we will see what happens once I am running more than 50 miles/week again.
Nice day today -- sun was out so it felt warmer than 22!!
Happy weekend everyone. | | Add Comment |
