~~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, 1:10:04). Nice hilly run + feeding my horse friends some carrots. Beautiful morning!!!

PM: (easy 4).

Almost two days straight with my orthotics -- no more blisters. I am in a quandary though ... I bought some boots the other day and they are about a 1/2 size too big ... John says he wants me to wear my orthotics all day (not just when running) but most of my shoes that fit won't also fit my orthotic, so I haven't been wearing my orthotics except when I am running. Because these new boots are larger than my usual size I can actually fit my orthotic in them, but I am not sure I want to *have* to wear my orthotic when wearing them ... but if I keep this size then the only time I will be able to wear them is when I am wearing my orthotic ... what to do???

I wish that were my only problem ;-).

Have a wonderful day bloggers!

Personally I did not know you referred to me as one of your 'Horse Friends'.

Carrots were good, thanks.
