Short-Term Running Goals:

~~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.

1:45:48 (8:27). Ran on the flat, marked, Rillito trail. Ended up running a somewhat unintentional progression run. Ran the first 3 miles at 9 min pace, the next 3 at 8:45 pace average, and then turned around. Ran the next 3 miles at 8:30 pace and the last 3 miles at 8:15, 7:50 and 7:27. My goal was to run the first 10 miles easy and then try to get under 8 min pace for the last 2 ... but I it kind of felt good to run just under "hard" for a longer while. All and all ... felt good today ... yea!

I actually got started late because I was tracking allie during her marathon ... I was so excited for her that I could not get out until she finished ... it was worth the wait ;-)

Happy Sunday bloggers!

Nice impromptu progression! The runner tracking wasn't working in the morning, at least not on my computer, but then they finally published it and I saw her stellar time in the afternoon!

Nice Bonnie!! I am glad I read this... I'm in a 2 day slump due to a near impossible schedule... but honestly I am happy for your run even more so since I know how hard you worked to get back to this!!

Hi Ladies!! hope you are feeling good today!!

Thank you Dan, you are a very nice guy for noticing that ;-). I hope your schedule gets better soon ... slumps because of work are the worst!!!
