~~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: (10 miles, 1:24:57). 30:46wu/24:03cd. 20 x :30 w/1` recovery. Another beautiful day ... warming up, but still tolerable. You know it is summer when you run up on sticks and either: 1) jump because they look like a snake, or 2) don't pay attention and then when you come up on them they move!! You also know it is summer when Titus the cat seems to lose 20lbs and the yard is completely littered with dead ground squirrels, decapitated lizards, and mice.

PM: 4 miles easy.

Have a wonderful day bloggers.

You're freaking me out with your talk of creepy crawling things and dead creatures.

CiC -- sorry, it is my life.

KP -- indeed we have all of those dead things all over our yard, Titus is on a hunting spree these days; unfortunately, for him, there are plenty of other creatures that are also on hunting sprees - for buff tabby killer cats. On a side note, last week Dean said, our yard is turning into a "Mousewitz" ... it was a very bad joke, but I had to laugh.

Nevels -- indeed, not quite as good as ol' fashioned opossum road kill I reckn.
