~~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.

1:04:49. Up the mountain ... it was beautiful (as always this time of year). I did not see any wildlife, but, I saw a hunter. He was carefully crouching and walking up the side of the mountain (off trail, they can't hunt from the trail). I felt sorry for him, if *I* could see/hear him as I was running by he doesn't have much chance of sneaking up on a deer or javelina.

Happy Friday everyone, may your day be extra productive so you can enjoy your weekends!!

Good luck to all the RocknRoll Arizona runners: Marathon Dreamer, Jeff!

good luck to Nan (as she prepares for the USATF 1/2 marathon championship in a couple weeks!!! GO NAN!!!).

I blew it actually, I don't know where my head is/was (well, actually, I do, it is in the paper I am writing) -- the 1/2 marathon champs are in Houston, not Arizona ;-). Just getting the running stuff muddled with the statistics stuff.

Happy Friday to you, too!

Go Dreamer! Go Jeff! What a nice run, Bonnie! My buddy Eddy, who has lost over 110 pounds in the last 3 years will be going for sub-3 at RocknRoll Arizona--he almost did it this last one with a 3:01!

From Bonnie on Fri, Jan 14, 2011 at 21:57:47 from 128.196.228.134

GO EDDIE!!!
