~~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.

1:07:51 -- maybe a little longer than 7.5, ran from Poppington Park up City Creek Canyon and back. Turned around at about 35:xx and ran back a little hard -- nice 2.5 min negative split (a less uphill then up the canyon, but certainly not flat) -- felt pretty good. I was suprised actually, since on the way to the canyon I was feeling a little sluggish and felt like I was working harder than I was warrented for my speed. Still a little congested, but I am not coughing anymore - so I consider myself to be healed!

Hope all you bloggers get a chance to enjoy at least a little of what is a beautiful day here in Utah.

Bonnie, likely next tuesday morning, 5:30. I will let you know for sure and what time. Yes, you are welcome. We run the first lap as a warmup, on the road, push the hill portions, regroup at the top of each hill and run to the bottom of the next. How fast you are does not matter as we regroup.

Stay Kool, I will let you know, B of BS Rools out

Great, thanks. It kind of depends on how sore I am after the upcoming 10K this weekend. That is early, but I am sure it will be worth it ;-).
