~~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.

1:07:18. Easy recovery run up the Yeatman trail (3 mins slower than usual, works out to :30/mile which is perfect for a recovery pace, yippee).

Nice day today, warmer than it has been (about 37F) and the sun came in at the end of the run. No complaints today!! Well, except for the fast that I have back-to-back meetings from 10-4 today ... I will have to eat my sandwich walking from one meeting to the next (or during one of the meetings I won't have to talk much at ;-) ).

I hope you are all getting ready for a fabulous weekend!

Did I tell you my daughter's bike was stolen out of our front yard where she left it, then my wife found one on Craig's List which I beleive is the exact same one?

As you both plot your craiglist revenge, here's a story for you:

Not that I'm advocating this as a method for revenge (it's pretty dirty), but maybe you can figure out a way to get your stuff back...

nice recovery run on the trail in the sunshine. it sounds lovely!

tracy - that was a beautiful story. a dirty trick, but brilliant!

Karma. Man made Karma.

the best line: "thanks for the great transaction"

From Dan on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 19:33:32 from 24.209.83.20

Ha, good call on the best line-

Bon, hope you had fun at your meetings, I did!

From Bonnie on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 19:39:53 from 128.196.228.134

Burt - that is awful, I am sorry!

Tracy - that is pretty darn good, you can bet the person who did that was not midwestern ;-)

allie - You are so right, that is definitely the quote of the story!

Hey Dan - They weren't as bad as I thought they might be, so I guess I can call that success ... but it is 6 hours of my day that I need to make up for at some point this weekend (and not while running ;-) ). I hope you have lovely weekend and that it warms up for you!
