~~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.

1:05 or so ... I did not really time it today - ran up the Yeatman Trail. A deer and I startled each other ... he was way close. I felt really good this morning on my run, I was surprised, and a bit nervous so I made a very conscience attempt to run as slowly as I possibly could. They say you never get injured when you are running badly (because you push yourself when you are running well). Anyway -- it was weird, I had something happen last night that hasn't happened in a while, I had bad night sweats. I used to have these all the time nights after I did really hard track workouts. I guess yesterday really was harder than I have been running in a long time - guess that is good ;-).

Anyway, classes started today, I am teaching an early class on Monday and Wednesday and did not have time to get to blog until now. And so it begins again!

I hope you all had clear air, sunshine and happy running today bloggers!

Glad you felt so great! It makes more sense to me that you'd hurt yourself when you are running badly then when you are running well. Your workout yesterday was hard! Kind of surprised you are not feeling it today.

Nice running Bonnie and the feel good factor yay! I agree with auntieem, you had a hard day yesterday so doing a good run today is all the better :)

I agree. I'm really impressed that you were feeling good the day after a wicked hard workout.
