~~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:(12 miles, 1:41:00 - wow, no seconds!). 30:05 wu+strides/26:41 cd (uphill home) + 6 mile steady state run (target pace is 7:36-7:24) in 44:10: 7:29, 7:27, 7:26, 7:22, 7:16, 7:10. It was a nice day for a run, about 45F and sunny, a little windy - but it wasn't excessive. I really ran "inside myself" today. I ran the first 2/3 of the workout concentrating on what the pace was intended for - comfortably hard pace that you can run for an hour - then allowed myself to run a little harder the last 1/3 as long as I did not compromise the workout ... it was a great training stimulus I think. I was constantly assessing and reassessing my breathing, running relaxed and just letting myself work into the groove. Highly enjoyable I have to admit. I feel so lucky to be healthy and feeling good.

PM: (easy 4).

Have a wonderful day bloggers!

you are really putting in some high quality miles, nice job, I can't believe you already have almost 500 for the year. That's 200 more than me. Look forward to seeing the pay off in your next race.

I am ready to quit running I am soooo sick of this long cold winter up here.

good luck with the review!
