~~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, 1:20:11). I wanted to run longer but I am having SI joint problems (probably all the hills). Very painful run actually ... my usual chiro is out of town, but his office (his Mom actually, who is answering his phone while he is on vacation ;-)) gave me a referral to someone else -- I liked this other guy, but he still hasn't quite fixed the problem!

PM: 4 miles easy.

Great women's 400m hurdles race and men's 1500 m race yesterday -- since classes haven't started yet, I was able to sit in my office and watch them LIVE -- soooooo cool!!

how about that 1500m runner from norwegia? i don't even know where that country is (canada?) but they have cool speedsuits.

bonnie - i'm sorry about the SI issues but i'm so happy to see you are doing so well and bringing the bonnie schedule back. your running is looking great. i hope the chiro can fix everything up and i hope everything else is going well for you.
