~~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 miles, 1:10:02). Hilly run, after very little sleep (my flights were delayed last night and I ended up not arriving into Tucson until midnight). Felt great despite all the travel, and being calorie deficient (I don't eat much when I travel, because I am pretty picky about what I eat). Happy with how I am feeling right now ... We'll see how the 20 miler (first one in a very very long time) goes tomorrow!

PM: easy 4.

Ick I have to clean house and do laundry today ...

BTW ... My talk went well! I am going to try not to work today! It actually takes a bit of work to check my work email (I have to go through a bit of a process to get on to the corporate website), so it is sort of "easy" to not do it if I am busy doing other things. Unfortunately, this is all going to change on Monday ... The bosses finally realized that I didn't have a company cell phone/blackberry ... And now I have one waiting for me ... Yuck, constant connectivity.

If you keep your work phone separate from your personal phone, you can still leave the work phone at home when you need to.

Good luck on the 20 miler!

True ... I will have to work on that

:-)

Hope you are doing well, and not freezing?

The weather is fluctuating like crazy. Sub zero temps this past week and it's supposed to be in the 50s tomorrow...
