~~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: (9.5 miles, 1:17:45). 29:34wu (+strides)/26:34 cd. 3 mile tempo run (7:18, 7:13, 7:05). I was not sure how this was going to go ... I had many forces conspiring against me, it was very windy, I got about 3 hours of sleep last night, and I this was the first faster tempo run I had done in a very long time. My target range, based on my 1/2 marathon last year, was 6:58-7:16 pace. I planned on starting out at 7:20 pace and maybe staying there. After the first 800 I thought, "this doesn't feel bad, lets pick it up a little". It actually felt better a little faster so I just held it. The last 4 laps I did look at my splits, I just ran hard, I was tired and wouldn't have been too surprised if it had been a little slower, but it wasn't ... cool.

PM: 4 miles easy.

I am tired, I am not sure how much more I can take. I have to leave work early today so I can get my run in before I take a faculty candidate to dinner tonight (it is not as much as it may sound).

I hope you are having a wonderful downhill slide to the weekend!
