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.

1:12:12.  Pleasant hilly run ... was pretty warm, but I was running slowly enough that it was not as bad as I had anticipated.  My Mom is coming into town today, so I was up late washing guest room sheets and towels and trying to at least straighten up the house a little.  I am hoping I can get some of my grading done at work tomorrow so I can take some time off and hang out with her this weekend.  To that end, I better get my lazy behind in gear!

 

Happy Trails bloggers!

Lazy is one thing you are not! I think it's just that you are busy :) Sounds like a lovely run, hope you have a wonderful time with you Mom.

Thank you ladies ... I think I have a wonderful place to take her to brunch (I think we will go on Saturday instead of Sunday). Luckily, she likes the heat so she will enjoy herself. Also, there are a whole bunch of cacti that are blooming right now ... just for her!

I'm impressed that you can call a hilly run pleasant. Have a great time with your mom. It's nice that she's coming to visit you, but you really should come visit her sometime. Hint hint.

CiC -- Maybe this Christmas, but she likes to come here to get hot, she is weird that way ;-).

Oh, yes, I like your mom. She likes heat. Enjoy your visit with her!
