~~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.

2:12:45. Wow. Maybe it is that it was only 80F, or maybe it is that my chest/shoulder problems are better, maybe it is the inspiration of all of our runners at TOU yesterday - but, I will take 4 mins faster than the last time I ran this any ole day!

Hilly, sunny (but not mid 90F), I am a happy person today.

Ritz ran a 1:00:56 in Philly today -- I am hoping that he will, despite the naysayers, be able to run a good race in Chicago! Yes, the winner will likely run in 2:04 - 2:05, but if Ritz can run a solid 2:08 it would not surprise me - and would be great to see!!

The CVS 5K (USA Championships) were today and Ben True and Molly Huddle took the honors (13:52, 15:30, respectively).

I am so excited about this years cross-country championships -- there are some incredible teams shaping up!! I love NCAA races in the fall!!

Happy Sunday bloggers, rest well!

Good weekend for Saucony runners :-)

I was just reading your entry from Friday... I'm glad you feel like things are starting to turn around. You've kept a good perspective on it all. You've been through so much hard stuff, but I'm INSPIRED by how you have stuck with it, maintained a positive outlook, etc.

Thanks for all the words of support and encouragement. It means a lot to me.

Thanks for all of your continued support throughout my TOU training and after the race. It really means a lot to me.
