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.

So, first of all, did not sleep at all last night, seriously, not a wink. On top of not being able to eat I felt super bad this morning when the alarm went off. I got up and got dressed to run, felt like I was going to pass out, so I ate a power bar, drank some water, and promptly went back to bed. Got up 2 hours later and felt much better -- I should be at talks at the conference, but I am not - I looked up the weather on my phone and it said 60F, it looked hazy out so I put on some capri's and a short sleeve shirt. Can anyone say Brrrrr... the 60F must have been Tucson, because it was not any warmer than 45 out there, and the wind was super cold. After being out in it for 80 mins it took me 2 hours to warm my hands back up. Tomorrow, I wear gloves!!

I hope you are all doing well.

Have to say it, pretty ironic that you are at a GI conference. Sorry you have been sick :( Get well, get well soon! We want you to get well!

Hi Michelle, I want to get well soon too! I had not even realized the irony of the GI conference (because technically it is cancer) - but your posting made me laugh!

I just don't know what the heck is going on these days. On the good side, I was flying on my run today (because it was so darn cold).
