~~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.

another 40 min day.

Greg just nixed my marathon on January 15th. I am pretty depressed about it right now, maybe by tomorrow I can make up my mind for sure about deferring, changing to the 1/2, and whether to go to Houston at all -- versus use the money, plane tickets, etc. for Napa in March (if I can still get in).

More later. I hope you all are well.

Just caught up with your news, sorry to hear it Bonnie. The running gods just do not want you running Houston do they? Get well soon. Napa does sound nice, I bet there's a nice reward at the end of that one!
