~~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.

1:13:23. Felt like crap this entire run ... it is hot, I am tired, and for some reason I feel sick to my stomach. At least I never felt worse, just consistently bad. Just one of those days I suppose.

I am working diligently to finish a paper before the semester starts ... I am teaching my *hard* class this semester ... I will have very little concentrated time to write. I am very close to having things outlined, and I think I have a solid outline, now I just have to fill in the bits.

I hope you all have a very happy humpday!!

(Kelli, I wish I had run that fast ... but I had forgotten a "1"!!).

You consistently work out and work hard at your job. It's no wonder you're tired.

Happy humpday to you.

For feeling like crap you ran pretty fast! I actually thought of you at the start of my run (the helpless little ants) and while I was running. I kept thinking, "If they can run in AZ and TX, I can do this!" But, MAN, it was tough!

The rest of the week will be better. Best of luck on the work stuff---you are so busy.

I think I wanted it to be over Kelli! I think that day after day of hot just wear a person down. You, however, I think are worn down because you are a work-out madwomen as well as being a super-Mom!

From your lips to God's ear Kelli, thanks for the luck, I think I have a good "story" to tell so I am actually very excited today about my paper!

Yeah for good stories!!

I am sure the heat gets to you guys like the cold gets to us. It is not so bad at first, but then it just gets tiring!!! Hopefully it will slowly start to cool down for you! We have had such a mild summer, I really have no room to complain! I really wish I could be there to give you a popsicle. Pretend I am tomorrow! ;o)
