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.


Personal:

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

AM: 7.5 miles.  Very hilly, very hot, same ole, same ole ;-).

PM: 3.5 miles

Such a lucky day!  So, our very own KP is in town -- see Burt's blog since he met her FIRST!  She is staying on the East side of town, so we decided on a restaurant that was half-way between us.   Still, I had to get on my second run earlier than usual in order to meet her by 7 (during summer I usually wait until the sun is going down, so it will be cooler -- but the sun is going down pretty late these days, so I sometimes don't get out until 6:30 or even 7).  It has been pretty hot this week (105F)  - so, I thought, if I meet KP at 7 I need to get out on my run by 5 or 5:30 ... it will be HOT.  So, maybe I will go to the gym and run on the yucky treadmill.  BUT -- and here is where the luck comes in -- it rained in the afternoon!!  It worked out PERFECTLY!!  I got in my run, it was cool(er), and, best of all??  We had a wonderful dinner with KP!!!  She is a sweetie, seriously.  I wish I could have whooped it up for her longer, but I was seriously tired ... I can't wait until I get some energy back, I really hate being tired all of the time!

But, I am the luckiest Bonnie in the world!!
