~~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.

AM: (1:11:50, 8 miles). Ran from my office to Wasatch Drive to just about 2100 S and back. Felt really good for most of the run (some of the hills felt tough, but mainly because I have not run them for a while).

I am pre-blogging my PM run because I am waaaaaay busy today (most of the week actually).

PM: (4.5 miles, 40:06). 3 laps on the inside grass loop, couldn't see the last lap -- it was DARK! I was lucky I did not trip over a tree trunk.

Hey, just catching up on your blog. At least you didn't slip on the goose poop and fall in it--that would have been bad.

I hope you are able to get better sleep this week. Hard weeks are extra hard if your head is scrambled from sleep-deprivation :)

Hi Michelle!!

I think I am perpetually sleep deprived so my head is used to being scrambled ;-). I am not sure what I will do if I ever get more than 6 hours of sleep two nights in a row. Mostly, I am just pretty stressed out (primarily about work and now the move) which makes it hard to sleep.

How are you ??? I am getting excited (for you) about St George!!
