Short-Term Running Goals:

~~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, 1:11:15). Easy run ... very hot, I guess tomorrow needs to be even earlier. I know that Burt has it worse (we were in Phoenix today, it was 109, it is only 102 here). Anyway, summer has sprung.

I saw the coyote that Dean has seen every morning this week, apparently it crosses the wash at about the same time every day -- I am a little worried about it, I hope it doesn't get hit (probability - KPs favorite subject, well second to donuts ;-)).

Some good racing going on out there bloggers -- way to go!!

PM: (4 miles more than easy).

Yes, I am ;-). I still haven't forgiven you for instigating all the donut talk last week, luckily, I was able to keep my 20 year streak of hardly any junk food alive -- but I thought about donuts for two days! (I say hardly any junk food because I still eat pretzels and occasionally a fig newton cookie and they are junk food).

you consider pretzels junk food?!?! ha! that would be one of the "healthy" things that i eat! pretzels are a standard for ultras/trail races. the salt is good for you!
