~~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: 27:42wu/27:32cd 10 x :25 w/1` recovery. The :25 are very fast (for me) - A cyclist came up next to me and said "you are running 10 mph" (6 min pace - it was one of the uphill portions). I was surprised.

I was at work until very late, then I went to change into my running clothes ... drat - I had: socks, shoes, running bra, shirt, and that is all ... no shorts.

I will try to "make up" the missing 2nd run tomorrow.

i know from experience that going shortsless is frowned upon.

yeah, people tend to prefer it when you wear flag shorts instead of no shorts at all :-)

ha ... I *was* wearing clean underwear and seriously debated wearing underwear and a sweater tied around my waist ;-).

I have it on good authority that people LOVE flag shorts!!
