~~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: 8 early, muggy miles ... I ran on the beach and then along the marina (on brick and concrete -- ouch) for a while.

PM: 4 miles easy.

I HAVE to figure out how to get my long(er) run in tomorrow. I might rent a scooter and go out to a park that I have heard about ... kind of depends how far away it is, otherwise it will be pretty darn tough to find where to run ...

Got to go, the meeting is starting again!!

Happy weekend bloggers!

It's a nice business trip that lets you run on the beach.

So you're coming to Colorado? Do you think you'll have a spare moment? I'm willing to drive.

It is not as nice as it sounds, really. Especially not in the dark and it is extremely hot here.

I don't think I will have time to visit this time, it is a shorter trip than I would like and there are a lot of details to attend to regarding my Mom's care. I will call you if things change -- Normally, I would try to find time on my way in or out of town, but my brother will be coming out too, and that limits my "free" time. I will be out again in a few weeks and perhaps we can work something out that trip. I really am looking forward to meeting you CinC!

maybe you could do your long run on a treadmill in the hotel?!

From Bonnie on Sun, Jul 31, 2011 at 10:28:02 from 12.228.46.33

This is a fancy schmancy hotel -- (Loews Miami Beach) -- what this means is that there is NOTHING free. The only treadmills are in the spa which is $10/day to use! And, Chris, I don't do treadmills for more than 50 mins, I really can't ... I am afraid that if the only way I could run was on the treadmill, I might not be a runner.
