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.

| 1:30:46 -- probably longer than 10, but not quite 10.5 (I was running about 8:45-8:50). Nice run, up to 11th to City Creek Canyon and then up the canyon about 1.5 mile and home ... lots hills to make me strong!!! Nice day, about 30F and sunny! | | Comments(1) |

1:11:45 -- up Wasatch Drive -- according to Anna's garmin it was 8.4 miles ... but sometimes "Bonnie's miles" calculations work for me, and sometimes against me ;-). Anyway -- we averaged 8:35 pace which felt fast for an easy run for me (especially a hilly run), but I succumbed to peer-pressure, and felt pretty self-satisfied when we were finished!
Definately feels like snow!

42:06 with 8 x 100 w/1` recovery.
Note to self: "slush is pretty slippery"
not as bad as I had thought - 36F and raining/sleeting ... wasn't really that cold until I stopped running!
legs were a little tired from yesterday, but all and all feels pretty much like base training usually does. | | Add Comment |

1:00:45 - run up Emmigration Canyon (ouch) - a little bit shorter than 7 (6.9 according to Anna). The Garmin-thingy said we averaged 8:52 pace, which is pretty good for a run that has a general incline of 512 ft over 3.5 miles ... I made Anna slow down a few times, but I don't think she minded too much!

48:38 - as good of a 20 min steady state run as I could do under adverse weather conditions. There was about 7-8 inches here in the valley and it was still snowing when I got out this morning. I did 4 laps at Sugarhouse (plus about 800 meters to a snowbank for a pit stop) -- according to what I have read each lap was 1.4 mile (so my run was probably a little more than 5.7). My lap paces were 8:54, 8:42, 8:27, 8:00. With hills! The worst part about the hills today were the downhills - very slick. I really did not think I would be able to do a steady state run, and was just hoping I could find a place to run at all!
What made this incredible was sugarhouse and liberty parks were probably the ONLY places that you could run this morning. Salt Lake City does a great job keeping the roads clear and WOW, the park roads are plowed by 7AM ... honestly, I have never lived anywhere (and I have lived in many places) that did such a good job in municiple areas. I had a breakfast meeting in Sugarhouse and all week had planned on running there. I was not about to let a snowstorm interfer with my plans (though it did take me 15 mins to get out of my driveway - and I was pretty nervous on the back roads). Anyway, it was snowing pretty heavy when I started and I had to wear my new "get a grip" (kind of like Yaxtracs but with spikes that can be replaced) over my running shoes. It was very cool (both literally and figuratively). I was the first runner out there and the snowplow and I did laps together, I did not really look at my splits until after the run, and was very suprised when I found out that the laps were 1.4 miles! yea! | | Add Comment |

| 41:21 - to Liberty park one loop + a bit (run is probably about 4.8 or so) - pretty good, sidewalks were slick, but roads were good. We are leaving for San Diego today -- I had to dig out my shorts! I hope we don't get "sunned in" and not make it back! Merry Christmas everyone - in case I don't write until after the holiday.
