Short-Term Running Goals:

~~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: (8.5 miles, 1:14:20). Easy run -- ran into Kelly Liljeblad (Keane) again today. Actually ran with her a bit (yup me and an elite 2:31 marathoner) ... ok, she is three weeks out from foot surgery and was jogging super slow, but heck I did run with her! ;-). I felt pretty good today, I was surprised that I recovered from my Thursday workout by today ... we'll see how well recovered tomorrow for my progression run. I have some tough Sunday's coming up after tomorrow. So even though tomorrow will be sort of tough on the speed side, I know there are some even tougher ones up ahead ...

I ran home, hurried and cleaned the pool and jumped on the internet to see how Snoqualmie did - yippeee a 3 minute PR in the 5K (that is so huge a minute a mile!).

PM: (4.5). Best run in the whole week ... I love this course.

Happy Weekend bloggers!

What fun to rub elbows with an elite! Thanks again for your help and encouragement. I'm still walking on air. :)

Congratulations on a quick recovery. I'm sure you'll have a great run tomorrow.
