~~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, 1:15:43). Great, wonderful, stupendeous, awesome trail run. A little pipeline trail, a little lower Oldhem trail, rocky, hilly, at 7000ft. What could be better than this? Well, see below.

PM: easy 3.5 - up Mt. Elden (short up -- but still -- up!).

A little more fatigued than I would have liked today. Last night Dean and I went out to meet up with Greg and Tracy (McMillan). They had a TeamUSA Arizona board meeting and then took everyone out for happy hour. We ended up staying out waaaay too late, but it was fun -- Abdi came out (yes, the "Mayor of Tucson", the "Black Cactus") - he had a 12 x 1K workout the next day, but still managed to hang out until about 11PM!! Just in case anyone is thinking of an Olympic wager, Abdi is feeling very good right now and was talking some serious trash about beating the Kenyans ;-).

Happy Running everyone!

So glad you had a great run!

How awesome is it that you get to hang out with Abdi and such great people in the running community. Well worth a late night.

Thanks for the heads up on the new app and calculator!

Very cool - nothing like getting up to high altitude in the hot summer months!
