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.


Personal:

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

1:06:45.  Beautiful day -- 41F and sunny.   I was running back on a dirt road and I heard about 3-4 coyotes howling .. and a couple others returning.  So, as I came down the road I see a pack of 5 coyotes heading over to the first group!  Very cool, I guess they had a meeting scheduled ;-).

 

Went up to see John today - ouch, he used the shock therapy ;-) machine on my foot, it still hurts.  But, the greatest thing?  I saw Lauren Fleshman there!  She is so awesome.  We have been Facebook friends, I have ordered Picky Bars, and did most of my Christmas shopping at Believe I Am  and now I have met her in person!  So cool.  

 

I hope you are all doing well.  I am off to Urgent Care so I can try to get this ear infection (3 days now) looked at!

Running with a pack of coyotes and hanging out w/ Lauren Fleshman... if you get that ear infection cleared up, I would say today has been a perfect day! :-)

Yessir!! You betcha Jake! Well, it would be nearly perfect if I could come and run a JAJA run!
