~~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.

1:02:27 (31:27/30:59). Tired. Too little sleep, stress and the Tour are keeping me up. HOT. This weekend will be a record for me, heat-wise, forcast is in the 113 range over the weekend. I can't wait until next week, Flagstaff will likely be 30-40 degrees cooler. It will be a "vacation" that is not really a vacation though. My class starts on August 14th and I need to get some of the notes finished before it starts. It is a very hard class (both for the students and me) and it is going to take a lot of time to prepare. This week I have to finish a manuscript and start working on a poster that I will be presenting in DC the first week of August (The Rocket will likely notice all the geeky statisticians from all over the world that will be taking over her neighborhood -- they are hard to miss ;-) ).

Bike to work (11 miles).

AHHHH the monsoons are here -- very nice. It really cools things off, and it is quite impressive.

How do you get home if you bike to work but don't bike home?

I will get a ride with Dean -- the monsoons are here -- torrential rain and lightening storms so it is not really safe to ride a bike on the roads, plus I have a feeling part of the bike path is underwater (I just hope we can find alternate routes home -- as all the low areas and washes flood). Tonight I am leaving my bike here in the bike locker (I rent a really nice locker) - and I will ride home on Friday night.
