~~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.

Had a slight altercation with a cactus (VPB -- virtually private bathroom -- is a dangerous thing out here in the desert), I will need to use the ole 'use # 29034009340399 x 10^6 for duct tape' (you can use it like wax hair removal, it gets all of the "tiny little spines" out).

I hope you are all having a great day bloggers!! Every day that I don't seen an old man riding a bike in a Speedo is a good day to me...

I bet the old man in the speedo is really terrified of cacti.

there is simply too much in this post to leave a comprehensive comment, so suffice it to say that i'll likely wake up snickering about one thing or another...

Thanks for always making us smile Bonnie! Sorry it's a little painful for you though! (both the spines and the Speedos are painful I'm sure!)

I had a run-in with a cactus when I lived in El Paso, and that was just from getting out of my car at the bank.

You have a low threshold for a good day.
