~~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.

Only one run today -- I will be traveling for 10 hours today. 30:45 wu/ 29:56 cd and 5 miles at SS (38:03). It was likely not exactly 5 miles, and even more likely that it was longer than 5 miles, I calculated a conservative 7:30 pace for 5 miles would be 37:30, but it is too hard to run 18:45 out and 18:45 back ... so after my wu I ran hard for 19 mins and turned around and ran back to where I had started running hard. I actually ran faster on the coming back portion, so I ran a little longer. It was hilly, which was good, and it felt really nice to run hard after being cooped up in a windowless, with a bunch of uptight scientists (not you Scott), for 2 days.

In general, when I travel is the only time when I tend to value quality over quantity (meaning I will give up mileage for quality workouts if I have to). I was glad to get two "work-outs" in, and only miss a couple of miles.

ha ha ha ... very much unlike me, for sure, KP. Actually, it was weird, I did not have access to the internet yesterday, so I logged on the FRB from my "smart phone". It recognized the mileage window as a text field, but not the actually text window -- so I couldn't type anything in it. Interesting.
