~~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.

AM: ( 1:02:18, 7 miles). Ran along the Lakeshore path (again). Still cool!

PM: (35:39, 4 miles). I decided to run the other direction today -- the good part was that the path was along the marina, was not concrete (mixture between asphalt and grass). The downside was goose poop and tiny black bugs ... tons of geese ... and the grass was covered. If in the next week I end up really sick and the doctors can't tell what is wrong with me, please my blogger friends - just make sure you tell the doctor for me ... goose poop.

In all seriousness, I am glad I finally got my first double done since last week - I both was looking forward to getting back on my typical "schedule" and dreading how I would feel ... I felt pretty darn good.

Tomorrow I will be back home ...

Goose Poop, know what you mean, walked same area two weeks ago. What surprised me about Chicago, all the runners on the cement. Welcome home.

Thanks Brent -- Lakeshore drive is asphalt in many places -- but yes it really looked like people there run on a lot of cement! did you go towards the aquarium? I like the other direction much better, but the skyline was cool!
