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.

1:14:45 -- a little longer than 8, maybe by about 400/500 meters.  2 outer loops in the grass at Liberty Park and 1 inner grass loop.  One of the best runs I have had in over two months.  Probably because I finally got a really really good nights sleep.  I am embarrassed - but we got to bed really late because we were working on our sprinkler system until it got dark, so we ate late and consequently got to bed late.  So, I woke up at the usual time and fed the dogs and then went back to bed!!  I won't tell you how late we woke, but suffice to say it was the latest I have slept in 10 years!  My morning run was bordering on afternoon ... and it was a little hot.  But, despite the heat, my legs felt great, my mind felt great and I am happy ... though now I am behind in my work, still.

Happy weekend bloggers.

Yeah for the best sleep-in time of 10 years! It's good to hear you sound so excited about your run today!

Bonnie, I am with you on the lack of sleep. I keep hearing we should take a nap everyday? Nice run around liberty park. Looking forward to tuesday morning. I will send you an email on monday to confirm where we are going to meet in the park. By the way, when do you move to Arizona? Have you scoped out running routes down there?
