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.

| Nice run with Dean on Fiesta Island. I did not think Dean and I would run the whole run together, but it was great that it worked out that we did! He is still getting over his weird knee "pop" before the Big Sur 1/2 marathon - and I am getting stronger again (from my down time - I felt like I lost a lot of endurance, but I seem to have gotten it back pretty well - which is cool. Anyway - the run was really nice, it was on this man-made "island" - dirt/desert - the whole thing is a little more than 4 miles around, and we did 2 loops but 5 mins out-and-back and added on about a mile at the beginning to get to the "runners bathroom". Very nice. Dean estimated we did not quite run 11 miles - so I am calling it 10.5. It was about 60F and sunny. | | Add Comment |

| No running, but I did 6 miles on the exercise bike (20 mins - about 18 mph average) + abs and weights ... nice! Usually I can only squeeze in 20 mins of weights in the morning - it is nice to have time to cross-train a little on my rest day! | | Add Comment |

| Great Christmas Day run with Dean -- a little fast, but I was able to talk most of the way. The last 2 miles were pretty fast!! Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you are having a wonderful day. | | Add Comment |

| Nice, easy run (sans Dean!) on Harbor Drive, 10 x 100m w/1` recovery legs are tired today -- am debating on jumping a race tommorrow - could be fast - but kind of would rather put in some miles instead. | | Add Comment |

| 1:20:42 Ran with my friend Lynn (also coached by Greg) -- we chatted like magpies the whole way -- really fun. Then we had a nice lunch/breakfast at a wonderful Mexican restaurant afterward. This afternoon is a work afternoon for Dean and I - we are both a little behind in work and starting to get stressed about it; so we decided to spend some time working (while still enjoying the laid back atmosphere). | | Comments(3) |

| 54:13 - 25' steady state run. I am typing this from my Blackberry so it will be short. Hope all is well! | | Add Comment |

| 57:41 -- nice run to Liberty Park 2.5 loops and back. I wasn't sure how the altitude and hills would be after all those nice O2 filled flat runs, but all and all I was pleased. I managed to run only 2 secs slower on the way home, despite the hills. Quite sloppy out there today - with more snow on the way tonight. | | Comments(2) |
