~~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: (9+ miles, 1:22:07). 8 miles easy + 8 x ~100 m strides. Felt pretty good, a little stiff, but ok. Dean went up to see the magic ART guy today. I wanted to go ... but, as usual, I have to work, and I want to get started packing a little. We are closing on our new house next week and moving in 2 weeks!! yikes.

PM: (4 - 4.5 miles). I want to go to my favorite place to run this evening, but I am not sure I will have the time ...

Happy weekend bloggers. Best wishes to the racing bloggers!!

I can't imagine how busy you are with all your work and running and moving besides.

Hi Jon,

I was mainly speaking to the Rocket who ran Marine Corps today - and all the bloggers who ran pumpkin runs .. there seemed to be one in every city ;-).
