~~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.

ok ... I told myself that as soon as I could eat again, I could run again. Well, yesterday I almost ate two meals (I did not finish dinner but ate 3/4 of it). It is not that my stomach as been upset - it is that my throat has been hurting so badly that I haven't been able to swallow. Anyway, I got out to run - hoping beyond hope that I could even do a long run. ha ha. I was so tired within 20 mins that I wasn't even sure I would be able to run home.

Hoping that I am still on the mend, and have not set myself back even further ... I hate getting sick. And this time was one of the worst ever. I did not even go into work 2 days last week (and I NEVER miss work, I was back at work 1/2 time a week after having major surgery last year).

Stay healthy bloggers.

I hate getting sick as well, I really don't know anyone who does like it. But I am glad to hear you are feeling better.
