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.


Personal:

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

Used to be faculty at the University of Arizona (biostatistics).  Currently manager of the statistics and data management group for companion diagnostics (biomarkers) at Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. (Roche diagnostics).  We evaluate protein biomarkers that can be used to direct drug therapy that would be most effective based on individual characteristics (personalized medicine).

1:47:23.  Drove to the track, ran one very tough 6 mile loop up towards my house and then down the other side of the mountain (~56 mins), then did what was supposed to be 35 mins on the trails, but ended up being 33 mins, the "back" from the out was much faster.  Then I put on my frees with my orthotics and did two miles on the track.  I have been running faster than I had thought lately, I need to slow down as I increase my mileage again.  My two miles were 8:24, 8:21.  

I have such a busy week this week.  I have meetings early in the morning tomorrow, then I teach and go to meetings all afternoon.  Tuesday we have a College-wide strategic planning meeting from 8-2 (I HATE these, but have to go because I am chair of the faculty assembly).   Then on Wednesday I fly to DC for 3 more long days of meetings -- they don't finish until 3PM on Saturday and then I run to the airport and hope I can make my flight to get home late Saturday night.  Anyway -- I do get to see the Argentine Rocket, so it won't be "all" work ... 

I hope you are all doing well and enjoying your family today!!

Awesome cross-country results yesterday!  !!! Arizona women qualified for NCAA's!!!  Arizona took 4th in the West regionals -- they came in 4th behind Washington, Oregon and Stanford -- it was one of the closest NCAA regionals I have ever seen, with the top 4 teams within 17 points of each other (the fifth team was 69 points behind Arizona)!    Other good news was that Vanderbilt also is going to NCAA's!! Yea Vandy!

Funny how you can fit a week's worth of running for me in the space of a longish movie.

very close results from the mountain region as well: new mexico 53, texas tech 55, colorado 59, byu 156 (ah, not so close).
