~~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 miles, 1:09:13). My "usual" Saturday route, including a little stop off to feed Big Boy and CoCo their Saturday carrots. It was hot ... 85F in March just is not right ... I want at least 2 more months of perfect weather. I guess in two months I won't think 85F is very hot, so all is good.

PM: easy 4.

Hurrah for Nan for taking second in the USA 15K championships. And congratulations to all the McMillan Elite athletes for their runs today in the Bandito 15K !! (I know they enjoyed their race for Sally). Greg ran too ... he told me that it was just a run for him (he said he has had a very very very long taper ;-) )-- but he was running with the team so he could share in the post race beer that they were going to win. That's my coach, he makes me proud ;-).

I have to go get caught up on the NCAA action -- congratulations to Luke Verzbicas for a new indoor HS record (14:06) and Brianne Theisen (Oregon) for a new collegiate pentathlon record (she broke her own record) !!
