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: (8.5 miles, 1:14:55 39:32/35:23).  Started snowing last night just as we got into town, it was beautiful.  Woke up and it was 11F, so I waited until 10 to start my run, the sun had helped with much of the ice and it was a much more balmy 17F ;-).  A little slippery in town, but most of the trail I was running on was dirt, so it was manageable.  Much more difficult as I climbed into the mountains -- it was steep (and hard because of the 8000ft, I was huffing and puffing and sliding all around).   There were several cross-country ski tracks and a few other runners had already run on the trail, so I did not get lost ;-).

PM:(3.5 miles).   It was much much colder this evening, but I was so thankful to be running that I lost track of time (and it was hard to get to my watch with my gloves a sleeves pulled down ;-)

 HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

You need to add snow shoes to your Christmas list. Or maybe crampons.

Happy thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too AZmonsoon!!

I have some yaktrax (from our time in Denver and SLC) ... but I did not think about it when I left town yesterday ... crampons would be cool though ;-).

I'll send you a Happy Thanksgiving too. It sounds like you had an adventure on your run this morning. I guess it's cold all over.

I'm impressed you did a PM run on Thanksgiving! I was far to stuffed with turkey and pie to even consider that possibility. Sounds like you had a nice day though.

Oh, and I like your gratitude for the FRB family...I agree! FRB-ers rock.
