~~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.

2:02:49 ... so, I guess I have been running longer than 15 miles the past 2 Sundays. I was pretty sure that this was 14. I went down to the same trails I have been running my long runs the past few weekends, but because I have so much work to do, and because my legs are tired from two awesome workouts this week, I decided to stick to a 2 hour run.

It was *81F* degrees today!! holy moly it was beautiful! Dare I say even a little warm the last couple of miles.

Now I have to finish my answer key for the homework for my class tomorrow (it is a tough assignment so it will even take me some time to finish it) and finish an analysis for one of my collaborators from Vanderbilt. From the looks of it, I will have 6 manuscripts published in the first 4 months of 2011 ... sweet, makes me look ever so productive ;-)

Have a wonderful Sunday bloggers!

That would be Dr. Productivity, Dr. lotsomiles!

When do you start your new job Chris? did you already start? do you have to move far from where you live now?
