~~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.

You have the most beautiful runs. You would be bored to tears in my parts.

allie -- I hope it is a beautiful!!

april -- I am very very lucky. But as long as you have dirt roads, I would be happy (especially the flat ones- at least for a while ;)).

Did April just say it's so beautiful when you get the runs?

Scott - trail running is the best!

Burt - now that you mention it I think she said my runs were beautiful ... hows that for a friend?
