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.

I have been bery bery sick. Monday was my day off (from running) and I felt like I had been hit by a bus, I worked about 11 hours and came home and went to bed. I did not really get out of bed again until today. I had to do some work (deadlines) yesterday, but I did it in bed and napped every 40 mins or so. I don't feel right yet, but at least I can walk around without feeling like I am going to pass out. I have to go into work for a meeting this afternoon, and I have to prepare for it this morning. Since I couldn't walk, I did not even pretend I could run. I think it may be the flu. Anyway, I can't believe it has been a whole week and I have not been able to tell you all about the awesome NCAA track championships last week! Now it is only one week until USA Champs! Good month for racing.

I hope you are all doing well!!

From allie on Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 13:34:03 from 161.38.218.168

yes, get better. :)

From Burt on Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 13:37:40 from 206.19.214.144

oh, allie's smiley face is cuter than mine!

From allie on Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 13:41:52 from 161.38.218.168

no, it's not. mine doesn't have a nose. i have a fear of typing emoticons with noses (typrhinophobia) due to the fact that my own nose is much too large.

From Burt on Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 13:45:22 from 206.19.214.144

That's the first thing I thought of when I typed it was how huge my nose was.

I haven't been sick like that for awhile. So sorry. Get well cutie! :)

From Burt on Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 14:05:00 from 206.19.214.144

You can do it allie! It's the only way. Trust me. You'll feel better once you've gotten it all out of your system.

From JD on Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 14:06:55 from 70.96.78.149

Sorry Bonnie. Hope you're feeling better soon.

I'm so sorry you're sick, but I have to say I'm glad you're just sick and not plane crashed or something. I was thinking about you while I was running this morning and wondering what had happened to you.

Burt isn't your emoticon

From Burt on Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 14:27:48 from 206.19.214.144

From Chad Robinson on Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 14:29:58 from 67.136.62.186

The vetical line before and after for your unibrow and mouth didn't show.

From Burt on Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 14:36:22 from 206.19.214.144

It did in the email. I knew you were going for the Sesame Street effect.

From Bonnie on Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 14:37:36 from 64.119.33.134

ha ha ha ... Chad that was awesome!

allie, typrhinophobia is contagious so be very careful.

I have not been this sick in probably 20 years, maybe even longer. It was not fun, I couldn't even watch TV -- well, what is there worth watching anyway now that Oprah is gone?

From Burt on Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 14:49:21 from 206.19.214.144

Oprah! Stay sick Bonnie. :
