~~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.

14.50	0.00	0.00	0.00	0.00	14.50

AM: (10.5 miles, 1:32:21) . 29:06 wu + strides 3 x 10` @ 1/2 marathon pace w/3` recovery + 24:16 cd. I went to the track so I could ensure the proper pace ... instead of 10` I did 2400 meters 10:57 (7:17 pace), 10:56 (7:16 pace), 10:59 (7:20 pace). The mile split for my last one was 7:13 ... my last 800 was not good at all. Dean was at the track and he said it looked pretty easy, I am not sure "easy" would be my definition, I wanted it to be a little easier ... but I was pretty relaxed and the first 3 miles felt pretty good.

PM: (4 miles, easy).

Have a happy day bloggers.

Very nice workout. I'm sure you made it look easy, even if it didn't feel easy.

Ok, I'm officially intimidated. You are fast!

Does he mean it looked like *you* were feeling it was easy or that the pace seemed like an easy pace to his rocket fast self? Easy is in the eyes of the beholder.

Your miles are awesome, as usual. :)

ha ha ha ... Sno, he meant that I looked like I was running easy (I was trying to stay in the right heart-rate, breathing rate zone -- ~ 1/2 marathon pace, so 4.5 miles at that pace *should* be kind of easy).

I love that 60 miles seems pretty normal now.

Have a good weekend Sno friend!
