~~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.

Still swamped at work, I promise I will have more interesting things to say as soon as this deadline is over (well, depending on how class goes, the class is booked and there 5 more on the waitlist for the class). The one thing that I can share is the lastest from the Kiwi Kim Smith - she absolutely rocks. She was 3rd overall in a super fast 5K (she ran 14:59, this weekend. The winning man ran a 14:54 and is a 2:16 marathoner. Great read about the race can be found here. I can't wait until she and Shalane Flannagan meet again - their duals in college were amazing.

Happy trails bloggers!

Holy cow, that's a fast 5K! I love her face in the third pic!

Good luck with the looming deadline...and impending large class...

My favorite quote: "whilst for Smith, it was also a good workout in the company of similar ability runners instead of the planned 8 x 1km originally scheduled"

I met her in my ART guys office and she was trying to round up some of the ASU distance guys to run with her for her long run ... they were a little intimidated ;-)
