~~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.

YEAH NEW STUDENTS!!!

I laugh at your ONLY temperatures. Yikes. But, I did run in the 80's again today. The 90's would kill me fast, though.

I am going to stop complaining about the heat - 92 at the end - WOW!

Good luck with the new students!
