~~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: (9+ miles, 1:21:56). 8+ miles + 8 x 100m strides. I am not a morning person, but 7:30 was a perfect time to run this morning. The sun rise over the mountains was stunning and the temperature was more perfect than perfect. We went up to Phoenix yesterday afternoon to see the magic doctor, John. He worked on my back and shoulder (not running related but an injury that has been bugging me for months now -- probably due to long hours on the computer coupled with carrying a laptop around too much. Anyway - on the way home we took my Mom to the petroglyphs ... I got some awesome pictures that I will try to upload some time this weekend, it was cloudy last night so there was quite a sky show with orange streaks ... I hope they come out even half as nice in a picture as it was in person!

PM: (4 -4.5 miles easy).

I have to go to Michaels to get some pictures framed, and then I need to work a little today -- I am really hoping to take tomorrow off off off!

Happy weekend bloggers!

You've been busy, but it sounds like you saw some beautiful sights. How long is your mom there?

I really hope you get tomorrow off off off too.
