Short-Term Running Goals:

 

3:20 marathon - Eugene Marathon, April 28, 2013 (can I say I really want a sub 3:20? but I will be happy with 3:20-3:23) -- whoohoo!

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).

Up with those marathon results FRBrs!! 

 

Guess what I got in mail today?  My little 1st place 50-54 year old age group plaque from Eugene.    I put in the same drawer as the one for my 3rd place in the 45-49 year old group from Eugene 2009 ;-). They are both nice, not a moose or anything, but nice ;-)

Wait a second, in the drawer? somehow I missed that part since all ive had on mind lately is ME. Don't be lame and get that out right now! I want you to wear both of your medals all day tomorrow. Then when you're finished I want you to put a special hook in your mantel to show them off proudly. This mom said!

Two medals, all day, luckily I have these extra pounds to help me carry the weight!
