~~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.

2:36:04. Nice, hilly, chilly, run!

Happy to run some mileage this week after last weeks intensity ;-).

Hope you are all doing well, and getting ready to start a new year. Let me say again how lucky I am to have run as many miles as I did this year even undergoing treatment for cancer, and how even luckier I felt having your support.

Here's to an even better year in 2013!!!

Wow, 3200+ miles while giving cancer a whoopin'. A one-of-a-kind accomplishment! Here's to a great 2013.
