~~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.

2:38:49. (1:20:25/1:17:47). I ran on the new Santa Cruz river trail over to the Rillito River trail -- basically I ran from about 3 miles from my house to where I start my run when I run on the trail ... interesting that it was 9 miles! This route is uninspiring - pretty industrial and runs parallel (and in some parts right next to) Highway 10. But, there are no cars. There are 3 parks/bathroom areas along the way, so there is water - I can't complain. The weather was good ... about 70 and party cloudy.

I spent a lot of time thinking about our FRB's and their races today (Michelle, Andrea, Jake and Auntieem) - as well as two friends of mine who are doing the Ironman Arizona today. Man, these are all some impressive athletes!

I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday. Tomorrow is NCAA division I cross-country meet!!! so so excited!

Poor Burt doesn't have any friends.

Thanks for the good wishes, Bonnie! I had a fabulous time running 50. I hate to think that a 100 miler is in my future, but it sure is fun being an ultra marathoner!

NICE long run Bonnie!
