~~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.

Really going to try to get out again this PM ... but I am really struggling today. The tiredness is really horrible. I can't help but think of Litinenko (the Russian writer who was poisoned by the Russian government in 2006) ... I am glad I am not in his shoes, as this sucks ;-), while I am sure it is a good thing as all the pesky cancer cells are dying ... it wears me out killing them ;-).

PM: easy 4 (it was 100F, but not sunny)

Hi JD ... yes, I saw the race -- it was sad because I was cheering from Stephan Sambu (from U of A) or Chris Derrick (I have been a fan during his college career)!
