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.

1:05:17.  Beautiful day, lots of people on the trail today -- mainly because I did not get started until Noon.  I was busy with the insurance company, my cell phone carrier and the Tucson police department.  When I went for my run last night at Reid Park (about 7PM) someone smashed my car window and stole my briefcase.  My laptop was not in it, but my Android phone was (about as expensive as a computer) as well as my external hard drive that had a bunch of data on it and all my work for the upcoming week.  I lost two papers that I was in the middle of and just about all the stuff I have been working on for the past 2 weeks.  I was pretty bummed.  But, I can't complain, things can be replaced (albeit it is a royal pain in the butt) -- I still have my health, my family, my friends, my dogs, my house, see ... look how many *things* I do have ;-).

I have decided not to replace my phone until next week, it is good for me to be offline for a couple days.  Well, I will still blog, of course!

I hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas Eve, and have an even better Christmas day bloggers!!

So sorry to hear about the stolen items (the lost work absolutely stinks); however, your perspective is right on and I hope you have a Merry Christmas Bonnie!

Stealing makes me so mad!! Big jerks, but good attitude!

Enjoy your offline time and have a wonderful SUNNY Christmas. I am so looking forward to AZ in February!

I had to backtrack on your blog to uncover the story. Can you give the police the craigslist tip and have them investigate (undercover buyer :D)? It's too dangerous for you to do it on your own.

I am sooo sorry you lost all of that work. That is depressing, way to ring in the new year--redoing work you've done before.
