~~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.

80` pool running while listening to a Sherlock Holmes mystery, "The Adventure of the Speckled Band". Cute lifeguards today, too young to be my son's even, but cute nonetheless.

We have termites. They are of the "subterranean" variety (fairly common out here in the desert). I found them because they are building "mud tubes" in the ceiling in one of our rooms -- I won't go into too much detail other than to say, "yuck". Ahhh, the joys of home ownership.

I hope you are having a wonderful day.

Always checking out the lifeguards are we? :)It is okay, all guys who have seen 'The Sandlot' are still looking for Wendy Peffercorn.

Sorry about the 'mites- Maybe a pet ant eater?

Dan -- I love the anteater idea, I wonder how well anteater gets along with dogs and cats?? I wonder if they shed? I love google because I will find the answer to these questions ;)
