~~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, 1:10:45). Ran up the Upper Oldham Trail ... up is the operative word here. It only climbed about 3-4 miles, but it was steep and rocky, then I ran down Mt. Elden Lookout road to Schultz Creek Canyon and ran on a little trail there until I hit the turn-around, and came back. This mountain biker talks a little about the area that I was running (Day 4 Mount Elden). I did not get up to 9,000ft, but I am pretty sure I was up at 7500 - 8000. I took it pretty easy - mainly because I am still banged up from my fall yesterday - and I did not want to fall again. The trails are just so pretty (and right out the back door) I couldn't bear to run on the roads.

PM: easy 4.

Tonight we are going to dinner with Greg and Tracy (McMillan) for Dean's birthday! Tomorrow I have to get my long run in early so we can stop by and see my Dad on my way back to Tucson. Today I am working ... but looking forward to a nice night out.

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!

Happy birthday Dean!

I went camping up along the Mogollon. It was fun to get a run in the high country.
