~~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.

long 8, probably close to 8.5. 1:14:35.

Have to run, leaving for the airport in an hour and I still have to pack and write a couple more emails for work.

I may or may not be blogging while away, it is going to be a very tough few days. I plan to run my usual ... but it sort of depends on how functional my Mom is.

Run safe bloggers, enjoy the week and the weekend.

Sorry about your Mom. Wishing you luck!

Have safe travels. I hope your Mom is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances.

Give me a call when you get here if you have some time.

Good luck to you and your mom! Prayers are being sent for both of you!

Hope all is well, Bonnie! Take care.

Take care Bonnie! I pray for the best for you and your mom.

Thank you RAD. It is both harder than I expected, and not as hard. It is a tough thing, though I am being as upbeat as possible, mainly for Mom. I bought her a tablet computer, so she can read books and watch movies no matter where she is -- and check her email and stuff. That will keep her busy for a while ;-).

From Bonnie on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 21:55:13 from 208.54.38.206

Lily, hope you are doing well and on schedule -- I have my eye on you!!

CinC, this time probably won't work out for a visit, but maybe next time, I am sorry.

allie, thank you, stay strong!

Kim, you are a sweetie and I appreciate it very much.

Thanks auntie, hope all is well with you too!
