~~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: 7 miles, on a foggy, humid, but surprisingly warm, San Fran morning. It was a pretty ok run, the waterfront part was nice - although I am not a fan of sidewalks - the city run (~16 mins total) was downright deadly -- dodging cars and people. I guess I need to get out earlier tomorrow, I am sure it was better at 6AM ;-)

Last minute prep for my talk tonight.

~~PM: easy 3-4 on the treadmill in the hotel. I am calling it 3 miles, but my plan is 30 mins, which is closer to 3.5~~ couldn't do my second run ... work calls. Normally, I do everything I can not to miss runs ... but sometimes, things just get in the way -- today, work is just one of those things. Off to give my talk! Can't give you the exact title -- but it has to do with colon cancer, cancer biology, diagnostic biomarkers, predictive modeling ;-) (doesn't it sound exciting?)

Happy Thursday bloggers!

Good luck and have fun. Nice running even if it was later and it was messy.

I think I would be very interested in your talk!
