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.

~1:05 ... up the mountain.  It is hunting season in the mountains where we live, however, they are only supposed be hunting with a bow.  Well, after I turned around to come down the mountain I heard gunshots ...  I ran a little faster after that.  Plus I went and called the "Arizona Game and Fish".  I am not a huge fan of hunting, but I realize they should get an opportunity to use the area, I only wish they would follow the rules.  I see them parked all over the place in areas (private property - we all have a lot of acreage where I live) right in front of clearly marked signs: "No Trespassing, No Hunting" ... and that pisses me off.  So I tattle on them.  Anyway, an exciting morning!

I hope you are all doing well!

That is a bit scary, to be out there with gunshots! Saucony makes a terrific neon orange running jacket, Allie is right!

Tattle tale! JK. Good for you.
