~~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.

AM: (11 miles, 1:30:01). 24:17wu/23:50cd 15 x 45" w/2` recovery (fartlek version of 15 x 200 meters w/full recovery). These look easy, but with full recovery the "200's" are pretty fast ... it is not a stamina workout, but pure neuromuscular! Hopefully, it will work, my speed is not all it could be right now!

PM: easy 4.

We are heading up to Flagstaff this weekend, it should be fun -- especially since highs here are back in the 90s this week (but the lows are a beautiful 50F, so I won't complain ;-) ).

Happy Tuesday bloggers, run fast, run fun!

It was 80 when I ran this morning. I'll be spending the weekend in the Mogollan Rim.

Oh, have fun in Flagstaff.

Flagstaff is nice. I would consider moving to NAU if I could get a good offer.

Those 200s will definitely give you some speed! Doesn't sound like an easy workout at all.
