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.


Personal:

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

1:14:37.  I felt much better than last week, in part because it was cooler, and in part because I did not run as hard yesterday as I did last Saturday.  I am so sad that this is our last week here.

Very upset to hear that Tyson Gay is a drug cheat.  I guess I am not surprised, just not happy.  

Can't wait to see if Jordan Hasay can get the A standard tonight -- fingers crossed!!

AM: (9 miles, 1:16:34).  Up the trail, I found a really nice meadow after about 3.5 miles up.  It was so peaceful, the footing was good, I felt so lucky to be running in such a beautiful place.

PM: easy 4

 

The weather has been so awesome this week.  I am seriously dreading going back to the 110F heat.  Luckily, the monsoons seem to be good this year, so at least it will be interesting.  I will hate having to get out and run super early :), I am such a morning slacker.

Happy Tuesday, bloggers!

We went out to dinner with Greg and Tracy McMillan.   Saw Abdi, Ryan and Sarah Hall, and Alicia Shay.  Good times!

Last run in Flagstaff.  Very sad, and disappointed with myself for working so much during my 'vacation'.

 

Did my long run today since we are driving all day tomorrow.

Happy Saturday!
