~~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.

a little more than an hour. I had to get up early to run, we had to leave home by 7:30 to get to Phoenix by 10 for Dean's meeting. It wasn't really any cooler than usual, but the sun wasn't up, so it felt a little better.

Sitting in Starbucks trying to get some work done ... I have a lot to do, even though what I really want to do is work on my paper!!!

Happy weekend bloggers -- WTF WTF WTF!! Starts tonight (on TV) at 8PM!!

I turned on channel 625 two nights ago and saw Bolt racing the 100 in a qualifier heat. He won, but the announcer said he looked almost human.

Wish I had direct tv to watch... bummer. At least Starbucks didn't kick you out for using too much wifi :p
