~~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.

1:13:43 Ran with Anna up Wasatch Drive. Very slow - my legs are tired today. So far, it is not the best of luck days -- I dropped my *white* sweater coming in from the car to the office - it got all this yucky dirt that will not brush out!! I tried to wash it in the sink, now I have a wet, dirty, yucky sweater to wear!! oh well, I could wear a running top!

Have a great Wednesday bloggers.

Nice mileage so far this week.

No joke! You are on a roll, girl!

How's the house searching coming? Tucson is so beautiful, it'll be nice being there in the winter!

Hi Jeff, long time! Thanks - I should have my highest week ever (if things go as planned) - I have been hitting 60 fairly regularly now (it is the new 50 for me) - so far so good!

Hi Lucia, we are leasing a house (that we might buy if we ever sell our other two houses) - it is very cool, nice view. You will have to come and see it after PF Changs (you are planning on running it aren't you?). I am looking forward to winter running - but not really looking forward to summer running. I could be wrong, but I think the heat and humidity of the South (DC) could be harder than high temps - I guess we will see next summer!
