~~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, 1:11:01). About a minute slower than usual ... I attribute :30 to the heat (89F) and :30 to the 800s on Thursday ;-).

PM: 4 miles easy.

VCU and Butler ... it is a hard one, but I think I am for VCU, they had to fight to get into the tournament and are as close to a cinderella story as we have had in a long time. Both Butler and VCU have, I think, the youngest basketball coaches in NCAA?

Have a wonderful weekend bloggers.

Butler all the way... they play in the Horizon, which is the schools around here. So close last year, hope they win it all this year! Good running Bon!
