~~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.

1:57:52 (1:01:29/56:23) Fast finish progression run (8:25AP 8:47 out/ 8:03 back, 4 miles @ 8:09 average with the last 3 miles at 7:49, 7:32, 7:06). My hamstring hurt like heck at the end, but not too bad while I was running - which is ok, I think.

It was a great mental run today. I ran in a "wintery mix" -- it rained, it sleeted, and finally it snowed. By the time I hit the turn-around I was soaking wet, and then, much to my chagrin, the entire final 7 miles was into a very cold blustery wind. My legs were blue/red by the end of the run, but I felt very studly and happy to get into some warm (and dry) clothes!

On my way to finish grading mid-terms - hopefully I will have time this afternoon to make some popcorn and watch some USATF indoor championships on TV (ESPN 2:30 mountain time)

Way to grind out those training miles! When you get to the next race and you see what the weather will be you will be glad that you trained in all situations out there on the two lane black top......
