~~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.

Slightly longer than 5 (46:46) ... hilly but easy. I had a very painful massage yesterday afternoon ... I think it helped (?), hard to say, we'll have to wait and see how things go tomorrow, when I run longer and faster than today.

A storm is brewing ... highs tomorrow through the weekend in the 50s. I don't care how cold it is, just don't let it be windy on Sunday.

Burt, if you read this, we will be in Phoenix running in the Fiesta Bowl 1/2 Marathon (in Scottsdale) ...

Happy Wednesday bloggers! Dean is putting on a statistics workshop today at the university, 97 people have signed up (well, 10 of them are my students ;-), but still)!!

Cool weather GOOD... wind BAD!! Hoping you get the first one and not the second!

That looks like a nice course... a big loop w/ only a couple turns.

Good luck this weekend!
