~~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.

1:51:23. Thunderstorms, hail, what an exciting run! I had goosebumps because I was cold, how great is that? It is July and I was cold! Unfortunately, I was cold all day! By 5PM the sun was back out, but for a while there I thought it was Winter/Spring. I love Flagstaff!

MichelleL arrived! So FUN!

It sounds lovely!! (Except for the lightening, which terrifies me.) I hope the hail wasn't too big. I would like to see Flagstaff someday. Is it really true they have skiing?

Hi Sno, they do have skiing in the winter (I think they get as much snow as SLC in the winter). The city is at 7000 ft elevation (with the higher mountains well over 11000 ft) so there are lots of winter sports here. Summer is where it is at though, trail galore and just beautiful, everyone here runs or bikes (it seems). We love it and would move her if we could!

Wow! Exciting weather. I've never been there in Winter, but I think there are a lot of XC ski trails, right? It seems like a very active-lifestyle kind of place.

We are just a barrel of fun!!!!
