~~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: 7 miles on the Urban Trail in COOL Flagstaff!!

PM: 3.5. Very tired this afternoon, decided to play it a little on the safe side and take it easy - although it did not feel easy, 7000ft and hilly ;-).

Had a really nice dinner with Greg and Tracy McMillan -- Greg turned his book into the publisher on Friday and we celebrated! I am not sure when it will be out, but you know I will tell you all first!

His new calculator will be coming out soon too, I will be putting on my statistician hat and checking some things out for him first, but I would guess sometime in the next few weeks it will be ready to be beta-tested.

I still need to sift through the results from the Rome Diamond League, Pre, and Nashville Distance Carnival results -- good track and field this weekend!! Some more people qualified for the trials and Rupp ran a 12:58 5K!

Just catching up on the blog and all the race results myself... I wanted to say hi and I know you are 1/2 way done with radiation - yay!

Make sure greg's new calculator predicts a 2:15 marathon for me, will ya? :-)

Ha .. I will see what I can do! I was so happy to see your results from this weekend Jake, I haven't had time to write a lot on the blog, but I assure you, I am lurking ;-).

See you in a couple of weeks!
