Short-Term Running Goals:

~~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.

1:58:03 ran to Sugarhouse Park (28:43) did 5 laps (12:06, 12:08, 12:01, 12:08, 12:07) and then home (27:46). The laps felt slow, but they really weren't (~8:40 or faster) -- I dread this run, because the run home has about 2.5 miles that are an uphill grind (much worse than the rollers of the park) ... I was really suprised I negative split by almost a minute ... hmmm.

It was 35 and rain/snow the whole time -- I was soaked within a mile! Very glad when the run was over!

Happy Sunday bloggers.

REALLY GREAT RUN, Bonnie despite it being junky weather out! Way to go!

Thank you Benn -- I am glad to see you are on your way back. It takes a lot of fortitude to take time off when you need, so you can train better and healthier.

Hope you are starting to see some Spring up there too!

I am tired of the snow around here. I though it was spring last Monday, but I was wrong.

Nice tight splits. Great run.

Awesome negative split!! Miserable running weather, though - you're tough to still get in 13 miles on such a day!!!
