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: (1:21:45, 9+ miles).  I ran a little over 8 miles and then did 8 x 100m strides.  Feeling really good today.  Nice weather, nice sleep last night.  I was a little tired yesterday, most likely due to the fact that I worked late on Thursday night and was out at the park at 8:45 PM finishing my second run -- it wasn't that bad, but a little late at night, even for me.  Anyway, after a bunch of meetings yesterday, Dean and I went to our Egoscue clinic visit and then dressed in the bathrooms there for a work holiday party.  We got home pretty early (about 10PM) and just fell into bed .... this morning we slept in until 7:30AM  -- can I hear an AMEN!!  Tonight is *my* work Christmas party -- and then tomorrow is ART and rest up for the short workweek.  We are heading to Gulf Shores, Alabama next week - all of Dean's brothers, his Mom and all the kids will be there (it will be uncontrolled chaos I have to tell you).  Luckily, this fun-and-games will only last 4 days and then we can come home and recouperate ;-).

PM (4 easy miles).

Have a great weekend!!

You've really been busy. And AMEN to 7:30 am. Maybe I can do that tomorrow.

I hope you don't have to work today.

Yes, I hope you can sleep in tomorrow too ... it feels heavenly.

Finals to grade, grades to submit today! But for the next 3 weeks I get to work on things of my own ... much much more satisfying (my papers, my grant, mine, mine, all mine!). ;-). Have a great day and I hope you and the choir sing like angels tomorrow!

Yay for sleeping in! Great running today. Looks like the holidays are busy for you!

I hate finals. I'm stuck in finals hell right now. But I'll be glad when, like you, I'm done!

Enjoy the uncontrolled chaos!

You are so impressive! All those miles and a busy life as well. I will let you know ahead of time if I'm coming down in February.
