~~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.

2:01:23. Nice run, beautiful day! I was going to drive down to a trail, but I am swamped with work and decided that the hilly run from home is good training - and saves me about 40 mins travel time. The first 7 miles are pretty rollers much like allie's sunnyside up route (though only at 2500 ft instead of 4500ft, which makes a huge difference). Then the next 7 are longer grades of hills, but not as steep, the last 2 miles are a pretty huge climb back up into the mountains. Very good Lydiard training.

Fast indoor racing in Birmingham, England this weekend!

Next weekend are huge for NCAA -- the fastest races will likely be at Seattle - because they have a ~300meter indoor track (instead of the standard 200m) - which is where U of A will be ... everyone will be shooting for NCAA Championship qualifiers so it will be a really good weekend of college racing!

nice job, bonnie. there's nothing like a healthy dose of hills to keep the run interesting :)

i just caught up with your blog over the past few days. glad you received some good news and hoping for the best with the second biopsy. sorry about the forced down time, but i agree that you will bounce back from it very quickly.

"bounce" is going to be painful ;-)

So nice to see how well you are training allie, you are going to kill Woodlands!!

Glad you had a nice day to run :) Makes it all the more enjoyable. Thanks for the reminder that I need more hills in my run...
