~~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.

1:03:11. Found another trail today -- this one was not a nice as yesterdays -- not that I am complaining, mind you -- it was still beautiful. The footing was really treacherous and it was tough going ... my legs were tired today (probably both because I ran too hard on my second run last night - and because of the massage). Probably a good thing that the footing was bad, it made me slow down a lot!

After spending hours and hours of my vacation this week working on an institutional grant (similiar to the one I submitted to NIH last Spring) - I just found out there are some "politics" involved with some data I was planning on using for preliminary studies ... so, now I can't include it ... I am not sure I can submit this thing without this stuff, so things are up in the air now about whether I should spend any more time this weekend working on it. DARN IT!

I hope all is well with you bloggers!

That stinks so bad. Even a couple of hours might help you to see it from a fresh point of view. Politics stink.

Maybe it would be a blessing in disguise to give up on it. I don't know. Just thinking that it would be nice for you to not have to work on it this weekend.
