~~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.

Not feeling very well today. I won't go into gory details, just suffice to say, side-effect city from the radiation. 3 more treatments!!! Soooo relieved, and so happy I can still run, I am not very fast, but I have hung on until the bitter end!

Getting work done so I can head to Salt Lake City on Friday!! So looking forward to seeing you all at the track on Saturday morning! Wedding Bells 5K here we come!!

Oh, and don't forget bloggers ... Olympic Trials start Friday!!!

I'm impressed with your running Bonnie! Nice workout. I can NOT wait to see you Saturday. Wish me the best of luck with no traffic from AF :) Maybe we will have to take you out to brunch afterward if you're feeling up to it!

Good luck RAD, both in the race and getting to the track ... don't worry, I am sure we will all be there for a while (at the very least running around the park). Brunch sounds awesome!

JD - will be carrying a sign, so I will know who you are? Just kidding, I know what you look like!
