~~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.

Very slow run up the mountain. It was slow for two reasons, one was that my hip/leg is killing me today and the second was because I was trying to soak in the views, the weather, and enjoy the run for Sally ... those of us who run in Arizona know how lucky we are this time of year ... I ran "with" (behind) Sally when I was a pacer for the Tucson Marathon a few years back, she was such and inspiration, *everyone* knew her in the race, people in the front, people in the middle and people in the back of the pack.

Be safe bloggers. I also spent my run thinking of Jenny Crain and our own Kory (who we were so relieved to have survived).

You're a good person, Bonnie.

We're all lucky to be running.

The first thing I saw was a comment on Terri Antonino's facebook post saying something about wearing pink in honor of Sally. I'm like, "What? My Sally? What happened?"

So sad.

Unbelievable! She was headlining for the new Arizona 15k this weekend. That will be one emotional run...so tragic...
