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.

Ran on the treadmill in the early morning before the meeting (~6 miles) and then I am going to go back before I check out this afternoon and do another 30 mins (~3 miles).

This was per Dean's suggestion, to wait and see how I felt before I ran a lot. I can see ok (I woke up and couldn't see very well because my eye was swollen ... not quite shut but enough that I couldn't really open my eye all the way. Here is my updated picture, the clinicians here in the meeting say that it probably has progressed about as far as it is going to around the eye.

Another long day of travel, hopefully I will be home by 10-11PM tonight, I can't wait to see Dean, the dogs, the mean cat and my own bed.

Happy Friday bloggers!

I'm glad you get to go home. That is one nice momento from your trip! I wonder how many different colors it will turn before it's finished? You'll have to keep the pics updated.

Be careful! Did you decide if you have a concussion? I heard a thing on NPR last week maybe about how it's really important to rest after a concussion...

Ouch Bonnie! Just caught up on your blog and wow! That is a beautiful black eye. Hope the rest of your body is doing OK, and you have success running outdoors when you get home. Happy and speedy healing!
