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.

1:02:56.  Beautiful run up the Yeatman trail.  Was in a bit of a hurry because of it being a Wednesday and all (teach in the morning).  I can't believe how busy things are right now, and given that my life at work is always busy, for me to notice it being busier is saying something ;-).  We have some folks coming into town this week from Nashville, runners (she was a DI steeple chaser for Iowa and then was the women's coach at Belmont University and he was coached under Jack Daniels when Jack was head coach at Cortland).  I am sure they are going to LOVE running here this week.  I am trying to find out if she can run in the open track meet that is being held here at the University this weekend -- could be fun, our first track meet of the season!  That is, if I can get some of my work done so I can take an afternoon off.  Tomorrow Dean is having his arthrogram -- to see if surgery is an option to get him up and running again.  Lot's of things going on!

I hope you all  had a good hump day and are running strong with a smile!!

Sounds like a fun week you have planned, even if busy. You have track meets? Wow. I would love it, love it, love it if there were track meets.

I wish we had open track meets too! Have fun with your busy week!

I don't know if this is open or not -- but it is the first university meet of the season and will be fun!

You really are busy.

When you said that you were in a hurry because it was Wednesday, it reminded me of yesterday when I sent an email to my coworkers saying that I was working from home because it was Tuesday. One of my coworkers thought I was being funny, but the real reason is that I have long runs on Tuesdays and so I'm too tired to go into the office.
