~~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.

1:56:something. (I already packed my watch). It wasn't my best run, but it wasn't my worst either. It was a little warm (but not by Tucson standards), but mainly I am sick. I am fighting it, but I think the stress has left me a little immune compromised and the travel and lack of sleep is catching up to me. To add insult to injury, I am so far behind in my work that I will need to work 90 hours this coming week to catch up (I am not complaining, just stating a fact).

I hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday bloggers!

You're in our thoughts and prayers Bon. I know stress is bad enough without work pilling on- that I can certainly relate to without a doubt. Take care of yourself during this time- whether that is staying strong or take an extra day, after all, the work will still be there tomorrow.

90 hours?! Yikes!

Safe travels back home for you, Bonnie. I hope you're able to find rest and relief somewhere.

Still have you in mind- hope you are doing well.

I'm praying for you too, Bonnie. Hope you are finding a little time to breathe...
