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).

AM: (8.5 miles, 1:17:12).  Could have been a little long, I was supposed to run 75` so I added on to my normal ~ 8 mile route -- the CoCo and BigBoy (horses) route.  I brought carrots for CoCo and BigBoy -- too many apparently -- I had a bunch of baby carrots wrapped in saran-wrap and I usually stick them in the back of my shorts ... but today they kept sliding down and ending up down near my bum.  I ended up sticking them in my jogbra - I looked like I had a tumor, a very lumpy one.  Odd, I know.  Luckily, it was worth it, CoCo and BigBoy were very affectionate, in a horse-way.

PM: easy 4.

Awesome 5K today in New York, kudos to Sara Hall, after her steeple victory in the Pan Am games, she comes home and beats Sally Kipyego and Julie Culley!  Great to see Ritz back too, his interview was pretty cool.  I met Ritz at a race one time, I told him what a fan I was, and told him I was going to tattoo his name on my bum (RI -- TZ).  I then told him it would be ok with Dean, he loves him too ;-) ... just kidding, I did not tell him that, though I did meet him.    I did want to also give a huge hooray to Aaron Braun, from McMillan Elite for his tie-for-first? 2nd place finish, and great to see Bumbi finish in the the top 5!!

 

I have an easy day today, work-wise, only a couple of minor things to do ... yea!  Happy Saturday bloggers!
