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.

62 mins or so ... ran on the trails -- I think I was on the Forces of Nature trail again for a while -- definitely the pipeline trail for a while.  I seem to take different routes every time I run the "pipeline" towards Fat Man's loop ;-)  -- luckily, all trails seem to feed back into the pipeline -- and I know that trail well.

I hope you are all doing well.  I have a 4+ hour conference call today -- this was a problem because we don't have a phone here in the cabin, and our cell phones don't work here either ... so, after many days of trying to figure out how I was going to swing this (I guess an option would have been my cell out near the trailhead ... but 4 hours???) -- I am proud to say that I am a tech geek and was able to get VoIP to work, and I now have a working phone! Yea ... I heart Google for making this possible (Google Voice).

google always saves the day. james lost his phone in london (we knew it was somewhere in our room but we COULD NOT find it). my phone didn't work, so we used google voice to make the call. the best part was the treasure hunt through massive amounts of luggage as we tried to locate the buzzing noise.

good job with the run, and good luck with the loooong phone call. :)

VoIP is always the answer :) I'm married to one of those geeks and when I have a problem I make him fix it!

Looks like a great run this morning! enjoy the sitting time on the phone. blech.
