~~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, 1:16:53). Last 20` hard. I don't know exact splits, but I can time by landmark. The last "little over 2 miles" was 18:01 on the way out and 15:31 on the way back (and it is uphill on the way back). The 18:01 was by my feel about 8:45 pace (seems to be my new 9 min pace) which would mean the way back was probably somewhere around 7:30. Given the terrain I am pretty satisfied with the effort.

PM: 4 miles.

My hip was completely killing me last night. It warmed up on the run and I did not feel it the last 20`, but we'll see how much I will pay later. I hope I can get this worked out soon.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day, happy running everyone!

So sorry about your hip. :(

So, last night my 11 year old tells me this joke, I instantly knew that I needed to share it with you!!! :) :) :)

*********

A blonde was complaining to her friend about constantly being called a dumb blonde. Her friend tells her "go do something to prove them wrong! Why don't you learn all the state capitals or something? " The blonde thinks this is a great idea, and locks herself up for two weeks studying. The next party she goes to, some guy is making dumb blonde comments to her. She gets all indignant and claims, "I'm NOT a dumb blonde. In fact, I can name ALL the state capitals!" The guy doesn't believe her, so she dares him to test her. He says, "Okay, what's the Capital of Montana? " The blonde tosses her hair in triumph and says, "That's easy! It's M!"

Good joke.

You are very good at self pacing, Bonnie.
