~~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.

1:01:53. Ran from the house to the river trail, then headed West towards I-10 just to see what the trail looked liked -- most of the bathrooms are on the other side of the wash (since that is the paved part and the one that the bikes go on) -- it is pretty nice to run on hard packed sand though - it is a forgiving surface but not so soft as to be hard to run on. Much warmer today -- probably in the 80's -- since we got out later (we got distracted with unpacking and looking for things!).

My adductor is hurting a little again -- I have a massage appointment scheduled for Friday, someone that a local running group suggested (there is a running group in the NW side of town - the wife is an olympic trials competitor and the husband is a marathoner as well -- good people to know as they know a whole host of people from PT's to LMP's and chiropractors). I hope I can nip this little injury in the bud so I can train a little for the Thanksgiving Day xc race!!!

Miss you SLC bloggers.

She's back!!! Soooo cool you were in Flagstaff with Greg! I lived in Flagstaff for a brief few months in 2005 - Love it! So I'm confused - where are you moving/did you move?

Don't worry about me - I'm doing well! Having your mouth wired shut is not as bad as it sounds. At least I can still run!

I hope you have a fabulous massage!

Hi Lucia,

We moved to Tucson this week. We start our new jobs on Monday (at the U of Arizona). Lots of things to do before we start back to work!!

Take care of yourself.

Bonnie
