~~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.

1:46:49. I was feeling so good today that I decided to put on a little pressure at the end of the run. My hilly "usual" for right now. I will probably jump up to 2 hours (~14 miles) next week -- when we are in FLAGSTAFF!! Can anyone say 30F or more cooler? Yea baby!

Can't wait. We have a house for 3 weeks. I will likely need to come back down for a few days in there for work, but most of the time I will be cooling off and training high (altitude-wise :)).

I am in heaven with all the Track and Field on TV this weekend! living the dream!

Happy weekend bloggers!

Thank you! It is hard not to enjoy Flagstaff :)

We are staying on a different side of town this year, so it will be interesting to see a different set of trails!

I was in Kingman this weekend. Not quite the same. But I did see blogger Kerry Herbine. He's Mormon now, so you probably hate him.

Hahaha Burt, you know me so well :-)

Oh no. Sorry. I was actually talking to allie.

you just opened another can of tapeworms! and i can't close it because i don't know anything about chess.

Just know that Russian men kiss each other on the lips. Totally acceptable in that culture.

Have fun in Flagstaff! Enjoy the running there!

From Bonnie on Mon, Jun 24, 2013 at 15:11:02 from 74.202.188.254

ick. I would never ever knowingly open a can of tapeworms (or any worms actually).

ha ha ha ... it is totally acceptable in the culture that is San Francisco too, Burt. You should move there.

From Burt on Mon, Jun 24, 2013 at 17:14:47 from 71.216.109.214

Mormons aren't allowed there.

Have fun in flagstaff! I have enjoyed the track and field coverage--gotta love Mary Cain and have always been a Hasay fan!
