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.

| 3:11:43 (AP: 8:42) (9:03 out/8:18 back). Ran on the Rillito trail (nice and flat). Last 3 miles were 7:41 pace. My legs are/were tired ... I guess it was the 82 miles in 6 days last week ;-) whose idea was this anyway?? We had to take Dean's Mom and son, Sam to the airport really really early this morning ... I am pretty tired. We celebrated Christmas last night, ending the evening watching A Christmas Story -- I love that movie. I so hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas! | | Comments(5) |

| AM: (9.5 miles, 1:22:06). 26:33wu/25:51cd + fartlek workout 15 x 1` w/1` recovery. My back is killing me ... it is either my SI joint or sciatic nerve ... I have calls in to the massage therapist, John-of-the-ART and my chiropractor ... I hope I get to see all of them, but at this point, one might do ;-). PM: easy 4. I have to get a manuscript review done today -- I can't believe it is more than a month overdue ... yikes. I hope you are all having a wonderful post-Christmas week! | | Add Comment |

| 1:02:55. Thank goodness, I feel so much better than yesterday. So much so that apparently I ran this route nearly 2 mins faster than usual. Tomorrow I have my last super hard workout on the track (I still have 2 MP workouts and one "tune-up" the week of the race). If I can hold it together one more week I will be ready to go! I hope you are all having a wonderful post-Christmas week. | | Comments(7) |

So ... these are supposed to be a predictor for a marathon -- but Greg says that they generally predict about 5 secs too fast ... in which case, I am looking at a 3:25. However, my recent 1/2 marathon (probably a better predictor) predicts somewhere between 3:19 and 3:20 (depending on which calculator you use). SO ... I guess I am realistically somewhere between 3:20 on a good day, and 3:25 on an average day ... which, would be a PR regardless. I still have to make the 26.2 miles though, whatever the pace! Oh, by the way, in case you were wondering, the last 5 800s of this workout were very very hard ;-) UPDATE ... whoops, I overestimated my mileage from this morning -- the recovery laps were 600 meters, not 800, so I was just over 15 miles for the run. Good thing I did not underestimate the 800s, I am sure about those ;-). UPDATE 2: I feel every one of my 49 years this afternoon. creak creak. PM: easy easy easy 4! Happy Thursday bloggers!

| 1:09:15. Very slow recovery run. After the first few minutes my legs loosened up and did not hurt anymore, but they are very tired - especially on the uphill grinds. I wish I had more to say ... but I don't ;-). Well, other than watching the last couple of weeks leading up to the Marathon Olympic Trials is very exciting .... here if an interview with a possible darkhorse. And here's some more from the Brooks-Hansons team! Happy Friday Bloggers!! | | Comments(2) |

AM: (8.5, 1:20:52). I think this was maybe almost 9 ... but not quite. I was running really really slowly, even though I felt so much better than yesterday. PM: easy 3.5 - I am going to try to get in 4 miles - I DID get in 4 miles!!, but I am not sure I will be able to, we are meeting some friends for a very early new years eve dinner (because we are old, and we all have long runs tomorrow ;-) ) and I have a PT appt that will likely last until 4 or so. Happiest of New Year Eve's to you all! I hope you all have a 2012 that is love, blessed times, and happy trails!
