~~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.

1:04:24 (probably a bit longer than 7 miles, but who cares?). LOVE:LY run!!! I actually found out that I had gone the wrong route on Sunday -- the other side of Stanley Park is so much better -- I found miles of nice trails, they were hilly, they ran through rain forests and next to some lagoons, it was very nice. It was away from the water, hence why I did not really see them before, I was following the seaside (like everyone else - the other good thing about this route is that there were very few people).

SOOOOO sad to be leaving. It is so nice here, home to our Sno, Auntie, Sean, Sno Ridge Runner, and possibly a few more. SUCH a beautiful place.

Travel today and back to my usual work tomorrow!

Have a good hump day everyone.

Sounds like a wonderful run. So nice and cool! I've been told by people living in the PNW that it is God's country with all of it's beauty.

Well, I have to say that Tucson running has been, well, warm to say the least. Hope we can touch base when you return.

You are in Vancouver!?! I would have driven up there to run with you, except I was in Paris. Dang. Sounds like you are all healed up?
