~~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 miles, 1:11:32). Early run, had to go to Phoenix to get fixed by John. He has a new toy a ESWT machine I can't say it was painless, but it wasn't much worse than Johns thumb (which he still uses). It probably saves his thumb a little, since he can loosen up muscles before he gets in there and really loosens things up. Ouch. I am pretty sure I will be black-and-blue tomorrow, but hopefully I will finally run without hamstring pain (at least for a couple of days ;-) ).

Tomorrow will be a marathon day at work, so it will be another early morning to run. I fear the next 3 weekends are going to be super tough, but then smooth sailing (relatively) until August.

PM: "easy" (except for the bruising and aching "fixed" muscles) 4.

Happy Saturday bloggers!

This machine sounds scary! I wonder of my guy has one; he certainly seems to specialize in painful devices. I'm not complaining, though, it keeps me on the road. Hope your work marathon goes well!
