~~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.

1:03:28. Easy run on the trail, before the rain came in ... good timing. Still feeling a little sluggish today, but not quite "Michelin Man" (loved it Samantha!).

Have to run, teaching this morning and two projects due today ... I can't believe I only have a month to rewrite my grant for resubmission, have a presentation for a external review of a grant, and I have two trips to DC this month!! There are definitely not enough hours in the day.

Have a good day bloggers!!
