~~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.

John finally told me today, he is 100% certain it is a stress fracture. I don't know what I did yesterday, but it started hurting pretty bad on the bike (didn't hurt on the elliptical). Anyway, today you can (and even I can) see exactly where the problem is ... and it is bone.

I am having some tests done on Monday. I am not supposed to use the elliptical without a walking cast ... but I am not sure what I will do tomorrow (since I can't pick up my cast until Monday). For some reason the spin bike hurt my leg. I am pretty depressed. I will be more depressed if I am not running by mid-October (my drop dead date for being able to train properly for Houston). Getting old is not for sissys.

But WOWWWWWEEE congratulations allie and Scott and all the fastrunning bloggers who ran TOU today -- YEA!!!

Well...I know it is no comfort but don't stress fractures heal faster than tendons? I do hope you heal in time for Houston! I am hoping to meet you!
