~~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.

AM: (10 miles, 1:19:45). 25:19wu/24:14cd. 20 x :30 w/1` recovery. Ran on a dirt road, some slight little "dips" but pretty flat overall. Warmish, but not hot (85F) and sunny (which made it feel warmer). I am excited as the lows this week should be in the 75F range ... yea!!

PM: 4 miles easy.

Busy. I am behind in my class, I am behind in my work, I am just plain ole behind. We are heading to SLC for a wedding this weekend, should be fun ... I can't wait to run in cooler weather again (despite the oxygen debt I will be in).

Have a great day bloggers!

Hey I think you deserve a day off work! :)

From Bonnie on Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 19:05:41 from 128.196.228.134

From your lips to Gods ear Dan!! I never really get a day off, but, on the bright side my schedule is "flexible" ;-)

How's it going?

By the way Dan, nice going on the race this weekend (sorry I did comment on it, I did see it and meant to!!). You were SO close to breaking 20!

From Dan on Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 19:15:59 from 24.209.83.20

Hey you sound like me, I work quite a bit, but I have a flexible schedule (unless there is some big meeting) which I like it that way. At least the weather was better for ya!

It is going well - thanks for asking. I am doing better than I deserve :)

Oh yes, I was close and knew it but just couldn't muster that last 1/2 mile sprint as fast as needed, but I was still happy. I got my friend Cassie on the Blog now (the one that always has a 5K to race- like another one this Sat!).

Man, your cooler sounds like our hotter. It is soooo cold here right now, I am like a popsicle.
