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.

1:04:41.  Awesome run on the Yeatman trail.  I was a little overdressed, but it was 45F and windy this morning.  The house was very cold and so I wore tights (I generally don't wear tights until it gets down to the mid-30s) ... it was fine though, the canyon was cold and I was running slow so I did not feel horribly uncomfortable.  Beautiful run, as always this run pep'd me right up!

I finally bought a camera yesterday - although I ended up buying it online - I couldn't find the one I wanted at Costco (though I was able to find a bunch of other stuff that I may or may not need).

I hope you all have a wonderful next to the last day of the year!  It looks  like I will hit 3186 miles for the year - I feel so grateful that I have been able to run consistently, stay healthy, and have had such a wonderful year.  My goal in the new year is to find more ways to pass along my good fortune to others, and to make sure I reaffirm and recognize how lucky I am daily.

I haven't checked, but you must be up at the top of the mileage board for the year. You are amazing.

Hi Carolyn! Hope all is well in Utah! I am not amazing, just incredibly lucky.
