~~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.

2:13:43 (1:08:58/1:04:16). Thinking about doing 16 today, but today was the hottest day so far this summer and I did not get out as early as I had hoped. Got started about 8:45AM, I did not look at the temp, because I really did not want to know. By the time I finished it was 96F and sunny.

I spent some time yesterday getting a "curbside" consult with my friend that I worked with at Vanderbilt who is a lung cancer specialist. At least I know what to expect next week, and I can prepare Mom as well.

I hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday.

15 is dang close to 16. You didn't cut it much shorter than you intended to go.

I'm very impressed what your ability to run in the heat.

I hope and pray for the best for your mom.

I as well hope and pray for the best for mom, I'm sure it's on the heart.

Good running, tempted to get up at 4 yet?

96 seems like a dream to me. I love the heat :) I will complain a little, but I like it more than the cold! Nice work out there Bonnie.

I'm glad you have a good friend who can turn all the 'jargon' into normal info for you and give you a heads up as to what to expect. Prayers and hope to you both!

I hope for the best for your situation! You are an animal in this heat! I couldn't hardly hang in it for an hour today!
