~~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, 1:18:12). Ran about 6.5 or so miles at an easy pace and then ran the last 20` at MP. The same "little over 2 mile" landmark was 18:43 on the way out and 15:40 on the way back. It was still hot, but at least partially overcast today ... it looks like summer is going to last another month or so here ... I just can't wait until it is under 80 degree lows ;-).

PM: easy 4.

Trying to be brave, but it is hard to concentrate, so I feel like I am drowning in work. As executor of my Mom's will there are a lot of "details" to work out, probably a good thing as there is little time to sit around and be sad.

I hope you are all running well!! Happy Tuesday-that-feels-like-a-Monday bloggers!

Your entry looks so lonely with no explanation. Hope you are hanging in there this week! I'm glad to see you got your run in!

The next weeks weather is looking to be much better. Hope you are getting some of the cooler weather.

Ahhh. AZDM -- you just made my day, to feel a mid-70s morning would be heaven!

Sorry april -- Tuesdays I have an early morning meeting way far from campus (and my house) -- so I don't have time to enter in the morning ... I tried to use my "tablet" (google version of iPad), but it does not work in the body portion of the log. Thanks for keeping an eye on me!

No, YOU'RE the woman Lily ;-)
