Short-Term Running Goals:

~~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.

1:02:51. I thought my leg might be getting better, but it did not feel like it today. It hurts so much right now that I might have to miss my workout tomorrow. Bummer is that with our trip, I won't be able to see John again for a week ... I am pretty frustrated right this minute. But, I don't have time to dwell.

Have a good day bloggers!

For your reading pleasure, a look at Paige Higgins. This is a series of articles that Greg has been writing as he tries to change her "marathon" shuffle ... as you can see, these things take time. If you haven't been reading the whole series, I highly recommend them, you can find the links at the bottom of the link.

Sorry about the leg pain bon - I pray it will be better soon so you do not miss workout time- I know that would be frustrating.

Thanks for the Paige link!

Thanks Dan! I would be very bummed ... as it is now, I think I will try the workout, but maybe go for the shorter end of the range instead of the longer ... I am going to try some epsiom salts tonight (I am trying everything!).
