~~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.

3:03:10 (1:33:52/1:29:18). Ran on the Mt. Vernon trail from Arlington to four miles from Mt. Vernon. I was not enthusiastic about getting out the door today, but had to admit 10 miles into it that it was a beautiful day, a great place to run, and I felt pretty good ... I am lucky. There were a lot of people out - cyclists, runners, and walkers. I even saw a woman who easily weighed 250 lbs jogging. I so wanted to yell "good for you!" But, I was afraid it would make her feel worse and not better, so, I just casually said "good morning" instead.

Tonight I have to go to a dinner meeting...I did not get much else done today, so I guess I will be working on the plane tomorrow. I can't wait to get home! Oh, and my legs ache. :-)

Happy Sunday, bloggers.

What a beautiful Sunday run! Nice work Bonnie. I feel the same when I pass heavier runners, but then worry they've been running longer than I have :)
