~~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.

1:08:55. A little shorter than 8 - but much more than 7.5. Today was a really good run for me. It was hot, especially in the sun, but I wanted to get a little bit out of my comfort zone and put a little pressure on the whole way. Ran to Liberty Park did slightly under 2 laps on the inside grass loop (13:11, 13:13 - a little faster than 8:47 pace) and then pushed the pace for 15 mins for 1+ a little loops (11:44, 7:49 pace about 1.7 miles). Felt really good, I was not going top speed, and actually was shooting for 8:00 or so - just breathing a little hard, but not a struggle at any part of the run. Pretty glad!

Foot hurt off and on ... need to ice it again before we get on the airplane! I can't wait to run at sea level again - and it is flat flat flat there too.

Happy weekend bloggers -- congratulations to both the White and Blue WBR teams!!

Nice run Bonnie! Have a great time, you're going to Cali, right?

Yes, the conference is at UC Davis. My talk is the first one Monday morning! I have heard there are some nice runs there on gravel/dirt roads (one run on one of the mapping packages called the "Davis Aggie tour" because it ran from campus all over some dirt farm roads).

I tell you though Michelle, I will be happy not to travel for a while! Except maybe up to Provo some morning when you are doing a very easy run and I have to do some up-tempo ;-).

Have a great weekend!
