~~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.

2:02:43. Ran in the flattest place we know of in Flagstaff ... still at 8000ft, but except for a few rollers, pretty nice and flat. I ran the last 20` - 30` hard, probably not as fast as last weeks run, but hard.

Sad to leave Flagstaff ... we really love it there. Had a great dinner with Greg and his family on Saturday - talked about running, coaching and life.

Have a great week bloggers.

It sounds like you really had a wonderful time in Flagstaff. Too bad is has to come to an end.

Flagstaff is one of my favorite cities in the U.S.... I'm very jealous!

I know you're a speedy gal, but 14 miles in 1:02 sounds really painful! :)

So ... I need to check your facebook page, did you get a car yet??

Oh yes, I forgot to post it here - I got a Toyota Corolla. Seemed like a good fit for me. I wanted a car that says "I rather be out running" - ha!
