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.


Personal:

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

Huge hurry this morning as I had to catch a flight to DC -- I really hate traveling in this direction, I lose a whole day in transit (I love coming back, because I can leave at 5PM and still get home before 10PM).  Anyway - I don't have my time because when I packed my watch the lap button was pushed, so I think it said something like 11 hours ;-).  Basically, I did 12 times up a very steep hill for 75 secs, recovery on the downhill.  It was hard, my legs are still a little sore from Sunday.


I was hoping to get a couple miles in once I got checked in to the hotel, but it is already 9PM, and I have to get up early to run before my meeting starts tomorrow -- so, I decided it wasn't worth it just to count miles.  Big whoop, I will be down 4 miles this week -- and maybe, just maybe, I won't get sick from the stress of lack of sleep and eating out too much.

 

I hope you are all doing well!  I am especially sending warm, positive, and calming vibes to MichelleL, Andrea and Jake!  Our blog superstars of the weekend!  GO FRBers!
