~~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.

1:11:29. Hot today ... again. Glad when it was finished.

Have to run to work. Two items of note, Dean got bad news yesterday, the reason he is still having pain in his foot is that the metatarsal that he had the surgery on in March is not healed on one side, this is NOT good news - as since it has been 6 months, no one really knows if/when it ever will heal. He is extremely depressed, and who could blame him. Second, and this is good news. Friday is the beginning of the World Track and Field Championship. The schedule (US, Eastern Time) can be found here. It is going to be a good one .... more later.

Have a wonderful day bloggers!

The Championships should be great to watch this year! I'm excited too!

From Bonnie on Wed, Aug 24, 2011 at 18:28:20 from 128.196.228.134

I know, I am excited that Universal Sports is now on DirectTV!! 8 whole days of track and field, what could be better than that??

From Burt on Wed, Aug 24, 2011 at 18:40:31 from 206.19.214.144

I have DirectTV. What channel?

From Bonnie on Wed, Aug 24, 2011 at 21:55:23 from 128.196.228.134

Channel 625 for me ... The listing times are in the link I posted, but I think those are Eastern times. It is going to be good Burt. You can also watch live by paying $5.99 (you can watch all 8 days of events for this very low price ;-) ).
