~~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.

Hilly, windy -- gusts up to 27mph -- but happy to be out and running. Dean and I attended an early morning breakfast meeting (7AM), with a talk by the president of Ventana, a local biotech company (part of Roche). It was pretty far from our house ... but I asked Dean to drop me back off at home afterward so I could run (~10AM). It was beautiful (other than the wind) -- but chilly.

Happy Friday bloggers, very happy that there is no class next week!! I can get caught up on my work, AND, I don't have to prepare lectures this weekend! Track and Field, all weekend long!

So it sounds like it never knocked you out like it did Dean? I remember JJ got H1N1 and to verify we had to take him to the hospital and wrap him in a sheet to keep him still and then suck snot out of his nose, very upsetting to him as a six year old. Hope that's not what Dean had to have done for his verification.

Nice work getting out there in the wind. Enjoy your extra time next week. I have no class either, but it's got nothing to do with school :)

Lily -- me too!!

JulieC -- I agree!

Michelle -- well, they have a swab now, same processes, maybe without the sucking ;) -- we did not have to hold Dean down, but he did get a lollipop afterward (jk - he was too sick to eat).

Mike -- what is more classy than a running-biker-bible-reader?

Eclectic, yes; classy, not by a longshot :)
