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.

no watch.  Up the Yeatman trail ... I can tell it is Spring because there are always people out on the trail these days.  I don't mind, we all are enjoying the same thing.  Last week there were about 15 "older" birders on the trail, they all had hiking/walking sticks, I passed them on the way up the trail, and again on the way down.  On the way down they all stood in line on both sides of the trail and held up their walking sticks so I ran through them, it was pretty funny, and they seemed to get a kick out of it ;-).  Gotta love Springtime.

 

I also LOVE LOVE LOVE Zappos.  I ordered a watch yesterday afternoon, and for FREE they sent it out and it is being delivered this afternoon!  It is a different brand from my old Nike Imara (which they don't make anymore) -- but just as low profile (except for the face - so I can read the numbers).  Simple watch, simple price, happy me.

Have a wonderful day bloggers!

Plus more people on the trails means they're scaring away the snakes before you get to them.

Lucky lady you! :)

Burt!! Yes, we have had 5 snakebites reported already -- this is at least a month earlier than last year, drat! so far, I haven't seen any though ... which is good, because once I see one (or maybe two) then I know I can't run on the trail anymore for a while.

Lily -- you betcha!
