~~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.

1:48:18. I tried really hard to get out early today, forecast says high of 108F, yesterday was 104F or something like that, I know it was 102F for my pm jog. Anyway, I got out at 7:30, which meant it was 95F or so when I finished. Little road, little trails, lots o' hills. Loved every second of it (except the relentless heat, and sun). Stopped once for a drink from the best drinking fountain EVER ... refrigerated!! Sigh, pure bliss :-)

Great track and field yesterday!! The men's 5K and Bowerman mile were incredible!! (Loved to see Ritz looking strong). Brenda Martinez (miler) ran a 1:58 800, and 17 year old Mary Cain ran a 1:59!!!! Both of these two are going to make the other milers worry at USAs in a few weeks ... Now that they both have proven to have sub 2 min 800 speed. Can't wait!!

In road racing news, Koech just ran an unofficial 58:14 1/2 marathon in San Diego!!! That is 18 seconds off the world record!! Insanely fast!

Happy Sunday bloggers!

Lot of awesome things happening in the track/racing scene over the weekend. Thanks for sharing, it is always inpspiring to me.
