Short-Term Running Goals:

~~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: (9 miles, 1:10:43). 23:13wu/20:30cd. Briefer warm-up and cool-down than usual because I had an early morning meeting and work is absolutely insane right now. 15 x 1` w/1` recovery. I did not have time to run to my favorite (read: flatter) place to do these so they were on hilly, mostly dirt/gravel roads, with some asphalt thrown in for the last three (they were much easier!).

PM: (4 miles, easy).

Felt pretty good while running ...feel really run down at my desk.

Have a great week bloggers.

I hope that runner's high gets you through the day at work :)

Good luck with the things you have to do.

I would zonk out every day at my desk if I kept the schedule and activities that you keep! You continue to amaze me!

Nice running Bon, and way to trudge through work!

Hi Guys, seeing your messages warms my heart and are much more helpful than a "runners high" !

From Burt on Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 22:39:42 from 72.223.84.236

I wish I could say something to warm your heart, too, but I usually say something stupid.

Maybe you could put a "do not disturb" hanger on your door knob and take a nap? I can't imagine having to sit at a desk all day...torture.

Burt -- so very not true -- you say a lot of very sweet things (well, and some gross things, but usually not "about" people).

Nan, yes, the sitting at a desk is not fun. It is not a problem of other people, unless I have a meeting or am teaching I can do my work anywhere I want. Unfortunately, the work requires a computer (and big screens make life easier, so I have to do it in my office at home, or my office at work. The problem is *time* to take a nap. There just are not enough minutes in the day to get everything done that is due. Sigh.
