~~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.

37:51 - ran from my hotel to Carlsbad Blvd (hwy 101) - this is the road that most of the race is on. Definately rolling - but only a couple "climbs" and they don't look too bad (about 1/8th of a mile or so) , apparently the biggest incline is only 1% grade and it is at mile 7. Very pleasant place, but one thing I had forgotten was how humid it feels here after living in Salt Lake City and Tucson -- funny how your body adapts to climate like that, when I was here coming from Nashville it felt dry!!

Anyway -- the hay is in the barn and all I can do is run the best I can tomorrow! Luckily I finished my talk yesterday, so I am going to just relax today!

Happy weekend bloggers.

Good luck with the race! I'm sure you'll do a great job. I'm looking forward to a race report.

Perhaps you've said this already, but what race is it?

Bonnie, I enjoy reading your posts. You are always optimistic and personable. I wish you all the best on your race. You have prepared well--thanks for your example.
