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.


Personal:

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

(Roche diagnostics).  We evaluate protein biomarkers that can be used to direct drug therapy that would be most effective based on individual characteristics (personalized medicine).

45 min walk, 15 min run.  Was a little sore from treatment, I can't tell if it is fixed or not.  I won't run more than 15 min at a time until it doesn't hurt at all anymore.

1 hour on the gol' blasted elliptical.

 

My goal is to exercise at least as long as I would be running.

 

I saw Stephanie Rothstein at John's last night (she was the woman who finished the 20K last weekend just ahead of Nan).  Last year at this time she was sidelined because of a fractured sacrum -- she FE'd a lot last year.  I am thinking of her while I cuss at the machine in the gym ;-)

So sorry to hear you are injured - absolutely no fun. What marathon are you training for? Take care!

Hi Jody, I hope to be training for Houston.

Take care yourself. I am glad you are starting to adjust to your new home and new commitments. I hope the weather behaves and you enjoy a lovey Fall there!

so this time next year your goal is to beat Nan in a 20k...

(Nan, if you're reading this, please don't come beat me up...)

ha ha ha ... I had not read it that way, but hey, if I am going to dream I might as well dream big ;-)

Nice Job of enduring. Sometimes the hardest part of exercise is getting your mind focused, were a lot of it isn't physical.

I don't blame you for cussing at the machine. I hate those things. But you're doing a great job of sticking with it while you're not able to run.

Keep at it Bon... I hate those machines, but get that leg pain free and it is worth it.
