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.

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

1:01:08.  Yeatman trail. Lots of work today and early morning class.  Saw a herd of mule deer, they were very cool!  Just to explain how sleep deprived and stressed out I am right now, I was getting ready for my run last night (about 8PM) and I changed in my office.  Then I hit the restroom and walked to my car to drive to the park.  I don't know why, but I looked down at my feet ... one Nike Free and one Nike Pre ... drat.  

I will have to write the story of the co-eds in the park another time ... I hope I remember it later ;-).

 

Happy Wednesday bloggers!  it is snowing in the mountains -- it is cold enough that it might be snowing at my house -- alas, I am not there.

I hope one was a left foot and one was a right foot at least.

I hope you're able to get some rest and relaxation and I'm looking forward to the story of the co-eds in the park.

and as for your shoes, you are not alone in the madness...i just tried unlocking my office with my keyless entry button for my car. :)

i hope you can find some time to de-stress and sleep.
