Short-Term Running Goals:

~~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.

1:01:23. Ran out 31:33 and then back on Lakeshore Drive ... I did not really realize I was picking it up until I stopped ... felt really good. So good, I will most likely run a double tomorrow.

It was much warmer/humid today (even though I was out almost 1 1/2 hours earlier) - there were so many people out, it was very cool! Both yesterday and today there were open water swimmers out - and I had visions of being a triathlete -- or maybe just a swimmer, mainly because they looked to me to be so much more comfortable ... but their 'uniforms' would hard for me to get used to, and I would have to get rid of my phobia about "yucky" bottoms of rivers and such (when I was young I was swimming in Minnesota and was covered in leeches -- I have been a little freaked out about fresh water swimming ever since). Nice dreams anyway!

Happy running bloggers

Way to go Bonnie, sounds like a fun run! I'll be in Chicago at the end of October, now I know who I can ask for some nice places to run in!

Hi Lucia,

I would be happy to point you in the right direction - let me know where you will be staying and I will tell you how to get to Lakeshore Drive!

Hope all is well with you!
