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.

1:02:54. Recovery run.  I back-tracked some of my run from yesterday in the hopes of finding my ear band - and sure enough it was right where I thought it would be. There was a county "guy" measuring something in the wash along the side of the road, I am sure he thought I was a freek wandering around in there ... if only he knew that he was measuring my bathroom ;-).

Have a good day, stay warm everyone!

LOL too funny... glad you found your ear band!

I should have asked if he was going to put in a cushy seat for me ;-).

Congratulations on finding your ear band!

I trust you didn't undeceive the measuring guy.

nope, I let sleeping dogs lie.

That is funny!

Can I move to AZ now? Do you have room for me?

From Bonnie on Wed, Dec 09, 2009 at 20:02:17 from 128.196.228.134

Yes!! We have room for you ... although the cat has taken up residence in the "guest" room -- so you might have to arm wrestling him for closet space!

From Kelli on Wed, Dec 09, 2009 at 20:12:13 from 71.219.71.229

Dang, I am allergic to cats. Hmmm, maybe I will have to move in with Burt.

I do hope you are enjoying some marvelous running weather! I do not envy the heat in the summer, but this time of year I could use some warmth.
