Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to get my body as strong and healthy as possible and keep running for many more years.

I also intend to push my limits physically and break the mentality that I am only a slow runner.

Personal:

I am currently single, have two grown children, and pride myself on not being normal.

In addition to running, I love distance walking, being outdoors, reading, eating almost anything, and playing the banjo.

6 miles in 1:07:28.  Can I take 7.5 minutes off my 6 mile pace in the next year?

Perceived Effort - uphills 7-7.5  downhills and flats 6-6.5

Taped the foot before the run and used my new insoles.  It was nice to get out and run. Focusing on eating well - so that means I'm hungry and need to adjust my caloric balance.

Hopefully I will get to the gym and do an hour on arms/core in a couple of hours.
