Short-Term Running Goals:

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.

1:53:54.  Ran on Campbell Mesa -- lots of trails, but of the easy variety (for Flagstaff).  Still at 7000ft, so a little bit of a challenge for me on the hills, but I LOVED it.  It is hot here, not as hot as Tucson, but still pretty hot - especially with no AC. I am hoping it cools down mid-week!

 

Happy Sunday bloggers!

AM: (10 miles, 1:17:34).  Pretty much uphill out, downhill back.  The footing is sort like Jeremy Ranch Road - same elevation too, maybe a little higher than JRR here - but the hills are a little steeper, and the climb is net uphill the whole way.  LOVED it, I have to go slow, and I huff and puff more than I do at home, but I know it is good for me :)

 

PM: easy 4 -- very windy, cloudy because a storm blew through, NICE NICE NICE!

Happy Tuesday of a holiday week, bloggers! 

 

BTW, I backed my car into a ditch and had to be towed out.  It was stupid, there is no excuse, other than I wasn't paying attention, I had just gotten off of a conference call and was distracted!  The guy who towed me out laughed at me.  Dean laughed at me.  A neighbor came by and asked if I knew my car was in the ditch (he thought maybe my car had slipped out of gear and rolled) -- I was too slow to go with it - and sheepishly admitted I did in fact know -- and, he laughed at me (in a very nice way :)).  It was a "laugh at Bonnie" kind of day!!

AM:(9.5 miles, 1:21:34). Hot, but I get sprinkles near the end!!! Yes!! I hope it rains, I hope it rains.  The firefighters need it, Arizona needs it, I want it ....:-) 

 Today, I did not work, not a moment, not a second, probably the first day that I can say that in many months.  Dean said my work, and stress, was ruining his vacation.  So, I am trying to behave.

Great races bloggers!!! So happy to read all your race reports!!! Happy 4th!

AM:(7.5 miles, 1:04:43).  We ran at Buffalo Park today.  First time I have run with pace feedback since my marathon.  I was surprised to find myself running at 8:30-8:40 pace the whole time (at 7000ft).  Who knew?  I am sure the cooler temps help to ameliorate the altitude!

Had brunch wit Tracy and Greg McMillan, and then took a nap ... Heavenly!

PM: easy 4 in the rain.

 

Happy Saturday bloggers!
