~~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 miles, 1:20:26). I kind of wanted to try a workout today, but I woke up and felt like crud. When I complained to Dean about how bummed I am since I felt like I was just getting into sort of decent shape again ... he said, "it is a perfect time to take an easy week, nothing messes up being in good shape than having to take a week off because you are sick". He is, as usual, right. I enjoyed the run, but I just don't feel "right". I think the lack of sleep and not eating much is catching up with me. I need to focus on caloric intake this weekend ... well, alcohol has a lot of calories doesn't it? (just kidding).

PM: easy 4.

Happy Thursday bloggers!

Almond butter!! almond butter -- perfect! I have some of that (I don't think I could handle olive oil shots ... but you are probably right). I love pistachios too ... but I can't control myself around them, so I don't keep them ;-). Maybe celery as an almond butter vehicle?

Chocolate is good Karen ... but I don't keep sweets around either. If I run into any, I won't turn it down this weekend!

avocado would be good, but I don't like it Teena -- but Dean does and I love him ;-).

yes, celery is the absolute perfect vehicle for almond butter. it's my breakfast every morning.

have a great weekend, bonnie. wishing you lots of good sleep and leisure!
