~~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.

1:03:46. Recovery run to Liberty Park. Super tired today - mind and body. Felt ok on the run, but could tell I pushed it a little hard yesterday, took the hills super easy today, but still felt like I was dragging!

I only have two more days to finish a big project that is already late and get some other commitments finished. Next week we will be in Denver for a conference (it is the biggest stats conference of the year and is always in August). Lot's of stuff going on with getting ready for our move, things are very stressful here as of late.

Happy Wednesday bloggers.

Hey Bonnie, Good luck on everything you've got going! I hope the running is able to ease some of the stress and not add to it!

I was going to ask you, are you doing Provo River 1/2 or Hobble Creek 1/2 by any chance?

I hear ya with the stress. Good job on completing your run in spite of the stress today!

Hi Kim, mostly I think running helps me mentally, but can add a little more stress physically. I am, unfortunately, not doing either of those 1/2's - I am hoping to run Top of Utah 1/2. I hope you have a great day today - you are running so well!!
