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: (4.5 miles ? , 43:41).  Hmmm.  Probably a little further than 4.5.  I had to get to work early today for the external advisory board review (and my presentation).  I pretty much ran the same way I run on Saturdays without a watch, so I was surprised to see it was 43 mins ... I did add on a little bit but maybe I am running further on Saturday than I thought, interesting.

PM: (9.5 miles, 1:18:30).  Ran ~8.5 miles and then did 8 x 100 m strides.

The talk went well, kind of, it is hard to explain but I called Dean after the meeting was over (mine was only one of many many presentations), he asked me, "how did it go?", I said, "it must have gone well because one guy picked an argument with me, and then afterward two people came up and told me they agreed with me and one person asked I would consult with their company".  hmmm, what a weird world I live/work in.  

I hope you are all doing well and that your running is fun and fulfilling!

Sounds like your talk went well; lots of interest is a good thing. I've been doing double runs lately, and I really LOVE it! Always thought it was cool that you did that. I have no idea why my trainer has them in my schedule now, but I really feel great on double run days.

Bonnie is the queen of double run days.

Great job on the talk.

Hi Auntie, I am so glad you are feeling good! I can't say I feel good on my double days, but I don't really feel bad anymore either. Usually, I am pretty tired.

Hi Carolyn!! Thank you! Sorry you don't have any green yet ...
