~~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, 1:14:44 (37:59/36:44)). Much better today than yesterday. Not bad for my highest mileage week ever. I have a 22 mile run tomorrow - I am in completely unchartered territory here ...

I am pre-blogging, I have to go to work for a few hours and then clean house. My Mom is coming next week and I never have time to do anything besides make my bed and wash dishes during the week.

PM: (4.5 miles, 41:38). My favorite run -- and I haven't done it for over 2 weeks! Lot's of coyote poop tonight - but no actual coyote sightings. It rained on me both this morning and this evening - once the sun went down tonight I was happy I had my gloves. The most amazing thing was that near the end of my run the cloud cover moved from the mountains and I got to see the snow that had fallen during the night and the day today. Last snow of the year I assume. It was very pretty.

My Nike Free's that I have had for the past 6 years finally went to shoe heaven. This evening I broke in my very new Nike Free 7.0's -- they are very cool ;-)

Happy Easter everyone.

81 mile! Wow! You are a machine. I'm glad you're feeling better today. I guess that 80-year-old got her legs back.

Have fun with your mom!
