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.

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

(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).

AM: 56:58 (slightly longer than 6 miles) - ran two laps on the grass at Liberty Park. I took it really slow, partly because I am trying to make sure I have the energy to run again this afternoon, and partly because my body is just completely exhausted. All the travel has really started to wear me down. Thankfully, I was able to keep from gaining weight, I have not lost any more than I had before the past two weeks of travel - and as hard as I tried I could not eat as well as I had wanted. My goal for the rest of the week, and into next, is to try really hard not to get sick!

 

PM: 30:29 (3.5 miles or so).  Despite the fact this was a harder run than this morning (hilly loop on the Shoreline trail) I felt a lot better, though my body is tired.  Debated on going longer tonight, but decided against it -- maybe next week after I catch up on some sleep.

This weekend is going to be tough - I have to work all weekend, lots of deadlines.

You have done really well staying consistent while traveling. That is always a challenge for me. Great job!

Grants, manuscripts, or "other"

Hi Adam,

Two grants I am helping write and I have 4 grants to review for a phone "study section" on Tuesday!! I am getting "granted out"! I am reviewing a paper that is due July 15th ... writing all of this down is wearing me out ;-).

Are you submitting anything this cycle Adam?

I just got invited to write a paper for a journal on cancer research - that is the good news - the bad news is that it is due in August ;-).

Hope all is well in your lab!

Bonnie

Nothing this time around. I'm trying to get some work done for a RO1 resubmission but I'm covered through next July. I just put in two abstracts for a meeting in Sept (Keystone) adn Nov (AHA). Good luck with all that writing for now I'll be happy that I'm just a post-doc...

I haven't checked in with you for a bit, Bonnie. It sounds like you are working yourself to the bones! I hope you get to have fun time too! Be careful and don't overdo it!
