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.

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

AM: (8.5, 1:10:43).  34:24 wu 6 x ~250m hill repeats 22:42 cd.  Did a much harder workout than when I did this two weeks ago.  I ran the first 3 in about 1:03 average (one was actually 1:05, but it was because I stumbled in the sand at the beginning of the ascent) I then dropped it to 1:01, :59, :58.  I was concentrating on my form and driving through to the very top of the hill (the last one was very very hard - not cardiovascularly but muscularly).  Pretty happy.

PM: (at least 4 miles).

My talk went really well yesterday, I was surprised, especially since I barely had time to practice it this week before I gave it ... I wish my lecture had gone as well.   The students (and I) are having a tough time with the current material.

Was the whole hill sandy, or just the base of it? That sounds like a tough hill to do hill repeats on.

I'm glad your talk went well. Good luck with the lectures and the current class.

Those hard workouts are so satisfying! I'm glad your talk went well too.
