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.


Personal:

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

I had to cut it a couple miles short today because it was 101.4F and sunny.  It was hot. It was hot.  

My fault, I got up a little late and did not start this run until 9AM -- which is way too late for the summer ... errrrr .... fall ;-)
