Short-Term Running Goals:

~~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.

AM: (5 miles easy, 45:04). My internal garmin is calibrated ... I ran 23:12 out and 21:51 back - I knew the out portion was going to be a little slower because it is uphill and hard on the rocky parts, so I guessed when to turn around that would get me closest to 45` ... pretty funny.

~~PM: (2 miles easy). Just keeping the routine.~~ No PM run per PT - not a bad choice since all heck is breaking loose at work today. There will be some long workdays in my future for the next few days.

Happy Thursday bloggers.

I am meeting a new PT today ... to see if she can help me with my leg -- that still hurts after Saturday.

Pretty good judge of your pace there.

Good luck with the new PT. Hurting stinks...

yeah good luck with the new pt, hope your leg is mended soon :-D

I love it when the internal Garmin works well! Hope your new PT helps.

That's an amazingly accurate inner Garmin you've got there.

I hope the new PT is able to help you.

You'll have to teach me how to calibrate my internal Garmin. It can never find my car in parking lots.

You've really got a tough job. I hope they pay you well.

From Bonnie on Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 12:02:56 from 64.119.33.134

ha ha ha ha Mike, that was pretty darn good!

Carolyn, well, it is more of a lifestyle than I job, I guess. I don't know about AdamRW and Redrooster (two other bloggers with the same job, different disciplines), but for me, I knew it would be somewhat like this when I decided on a career. It does not pay that well, comparatively, but it is pretty cool to work on cutting edge science - and have the chance to make significant discoveries that can change the world or peoples lives (for the better).
