~~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: (10 miles, 1:26:47). 9 hilly miles with 8 x 100m strides. I am feeling a little sick to my stomach today. I accidently drank an expired Odwalla smoothie yesterday, I don't know if that is it or something else, but I feel a little woozy. Did not really affect my running, except for the hills and the strides it was a pretty easy day today. I also lost my ear band this morning ... bummer, I hope I can find it tomorrow, I think I lost it at my VPB ...

PM: (4 miles, easy).

Have a great day bloggers!

Here's hoping that you get over the tummy trouble quickly and that you find your ear band.

I think its going around. Nausea usually goes away if I run long enough and today it didn't. Good long hilly run girl!!
