~~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.

a very slow 1:06 something run up the mountain. It was a nice, brisk, morning (~35F) ... I felt pretty good, I am not sure why it was so slow, but hey, I guess it is what I needed. My workout yesterday was not that hard on my legs, but for some reason I just was in recovery mode anyway.

Beautiful day ...

Have a good hump day bloggers!

running that up a mountain sounds like a VERY good run to me. Hopefully the scenery was nice as well, that's the only redeeming part for me about running UP a mountain.

ha ha ha ... it is so beautiful. I get up to this saddle, and I always stop and look around (sometimes while taking a pee, but don't tell anyone) before I start back down. I it is really pretty (and quiet) from up there. I wish I were there now, sigh.

When you come out here, someday, I will take you there!

I will definitely take you up on that offer! You'll probably have to slow down to a crawl for me, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it! :)
