~~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.

1:07:56. Early morning run - it was pretty dark when I started, but got light by the time I finished. I felt pretty good. I either ran the first half super slow or ran the second half really fast, because I turned around at 36:36 and got back at 32:20. Most of the other board members went to the ballet last night, and even though I wanted to go ... I was so tired, and I knew I had to get up even earlier this morning (we started earlier, I had to check-out, and I ran a little longer than yesterday).

If todays meeting adjourns on time, or early, I will try to get a short run in before my flight leaves ... but it will be tough. Originally, I thought it was feasible, but we ran over time yesterday and we did not finish all of the agenda items ... so I think we might have a longer day than was originally planned.

Happy Saturday bloggers!

4 miles on the treadmill before I got on the plane ...

Here's hoping that your meeting adjourns on time.

You're really keeping busy on this trip.

Have a safe flight home.

The things we runners give up :D Not exactly a leisure trip for Bonnie?

One other thing, my youngest son called the wrong phone # when trying to call another bonnie on my phone, so if you noticed a phone call that hung up from here, it was just JJ seeing if Parker could play.
