~~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 (1:13:12). Ran to see Coco and Big Boy - Coco has recovered! Their dog, Connor, however, was bit by a rattlesnake last night - yikes, he is in the dog hospital now. There was a story on NPR the other day that said that rattlesnake bites are almost doubled this year (in humans), compared to previous years. I guess it is probably doubled for animals too ...

PM: easy 4.

Yup, mileage is less than I wanted this week ... but seriously, I can't believe how busy I am. I haven't gotten a full nights sleep all week, and pretty much every waking hour is work (well, and running ;-) ). Sometimes, you just have to do what you have to do!

Happy weekend bloggers.

"Sometimes, you just have to do what you have to do!" - and you're doing it well. don't know how you keep up with that schedule. hope Connor the dog is okay.

i wonder what's the increase in rattlesnake bites is about.

Hey get some rest! Sorry about the dog, hope he is ok. The increased bites is scary.
