~~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.

38:19 ... oh man, I wish I felt more like the horses were neighing. I don't feel bad, I just don't feel particularly "antsy". It is probably because it has been so stressful at work the past couple of weeks. Good things have happened though, and today I am ready to send a draft of a paper to some of my colleagues - a big check on my "things to do" list! Now I have to get ready for my talk on Monday!! Looks like that is how I will be keeping myself occupied tomorrow.

Tonight I am leaving for San Diego - Dean is not coming (he is injured and won't be running, and he is swamped as well so we decided he should just stay here and work).

Happy weekend bloggers!
