~~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.

1:14:47. Got lost, on a trail, in the very early dawn ... bad news because I was 15 mins late for a conference call!! But, all is well that ends well. I am afraid they are going to take my drivers license away (because of my lack of direction).

Very busy today. Hopefully we will have internet next week ... no satellite (because I can't connect to my work computer using satellite service and it is SLOW), I considered mobile wireless, but it is slow and expensive -- however, I found a local company that has a few wireless towers around the city and basically they mount an antenna on your house - it will be FAST ... faster than DSL (he said DSL is a Pinto and their service is an F-16).. Anyway -- I have to run to yet another meeting. I will be preblogging my run for tomorrow, since I won't be able to log in again until Monday.

Happy weekend bloggers!

Getting lost might be a fun adventure if you weren't in a hurry to get somewhere.

Here's hoping that you get the internet all straighted out at home.

True, but doesn't it always work out that way??

The personal wireless antenna sounds awesome!
