~~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.

AM: (9 miles, 1:16:57). Dean is in Tucson this week (where it is still summer and hot all day every day), so in our morning email I told him it was 37F here when I got up! He wrote back, "it is not polite to brag". So, as penance, I run up the hard trail today, and ran it hard. 40:34 up and 36:23 down. My foot hurts, and so does my hip, but "honey badger don't care" -- I am tough (for those of you not familiar with this you will have to pm me ... it is not quite family friendly).

PM: easy 4.

I hope you are all having a great day, and don't forget to go to Burt's blog today and write down your favorite number and/or color.
