~~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, 1:19:43). Yes!! it was cool, I am sort of healthy, and it felt good. Dropped by to see BigBoy and CoCo -- brought carrots. Big Boy was super super upset ... running around, neighing, and kicking his back feet in the air. Apparently CoCo was out riding, and BigBoy did not like her being gone one little bit. He ate the carrots, but still was distracted and freaked out. I actually got out of the corral because I was just the tiniest bit afraid of being kicked (especially with my luck lately ;-) ). He is so big that even if he did not mean to, he could do some real damage. Poor thing.

PM: easy 4.

Hope all is well bloggers!!

I should start bringing carrots to the horsepark loop!!

How you feeling today? Hopefully not sick!

nope, I am doing well! I had a little cough and a little chest tightness, but it only lasted a couple of days. Hate to say it, but Dean's advice about not running on Tuesday was probably sound. Sometimes it is worthwhile to miss one day for a chance NOT to miss much more than that ;-).

I love horses! I met BB and CC when we first moved here and I ran by their corral -- BB started running in corral "with me". So the next time I came by I brought them carrots, I was a little intimidated at first, because they are SO big, but now I feel pretty comfortable with them.

Big weekend for running!! Jake's 15K, Gate River Run, World Indoor Champs AND NCAA's all in one weekend!! It is going to be very hard to get any work done this weekend!!!
