~~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: (8.5 miles, 1:16:48). Yikes ... I tried to take it easy today, but the hills are everywhere and it is hard to find any trails that don't climb. Today I went to almost 8000ft - it was gradual, but it was hard. I was having such a hard time the last 10` of the run that I am either going to not run my 2nd run today or only run 90` tomorrow. I am just not recovering the way I should. I really want to try some workouts next week, and I think I might sacrifice some mileage to ensure I can get some faster stuff in next week.

Another weekend, another BBQ ... this one is a going away BBQ for Haim and Dafi - who are heading back to Israel next week. We have a very special guest coming into town tomorrow -- you guys know her, we'll see if you can guess who she is ... she (and her children) will be staying with us for a week while she trails with the McMillan Elite and other fast runners up here!

If I run later, it will be ~3.5 miles ...

Have a very nice weekend bloggers!!
