~~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.

1:09:26 ... probably a little longer than 8 miles, but not by much.

20 x :30 w/1` recovery. Very invigorating! It is starting to get more "normally" warm here ... but it is great for faster stuff, I can see why it can't be too hot for sprinters!

Tonight we are taking the very brave and fun Montelepsy to dinner!

happy Thursday one and all!

Good running.

Careful, heard that being around Mike can cause good times & barrels of laughs, very contagious!

ha ha ha ha ... probably similar to being around you! I still haven't got my socks, but I promise you, in my first race this fall I will be sporting one flag of Mexico and one of Argentina ...

I think you should have put something in one of the faster miles categories today, you speedster.

Have fun at dinner!

I am not really very speedy Carolyn. Right now I am even less speedy than usual, as I am still in recovery/base mode right now. I would be in the "too slow to run with me category" by your standards, believe me.

I don't really count these as speed, the recovery is too long to really build up any true speed. These are almost more of a drill workout that works on leg-turnover. I think of speed as those workouts where there is a chance of feeling some lactic acid build-up - and I haven't done any of those workouts for a couple years. Though I might count stamina workouts (long intervals at 10K - 1/2 marathon) in speed sometimes.
