~~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.

2:00:51 (1:03:25/57:26; 9:03/8:12). Progression run, miles 8-12 were 8:15-8:30, with the last 2 at 7:30 and then 7:00. Perfect day for a run, sunny and 65F (maybe a little too sunny at the end, but I can't complain really).

Bummed about the game last night -- although UConn played an excellent game. Happy about VCU -- hard to choose between them, but I think they have the slight edge in my hopes over Butler. I was also bummed that Kentucky won today, they played so dirty against Ohio State that I don't think I will ever be able to cheer for them again.

Congrats to all the Buffalo runners -- the blog was well represented yesterday for sure!! Big hats off to Kelli on her win!

Very nice progression run. I'm glad you're getting some nice weather before it gets too hot.

I watched the 2nd half of that VCU game. Pretty amazing. My son #3 is all excited about VCU because the sportscasters were so down on them being included in the NCAA tournament to begin with.

Looks like your training is right on target!!!
