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).

AM: (9 miles, 1:17:32).  I don't have my exact splits ... but it went something like this: 27:00wu/26:00cd + 10 x 45" w/2` recovery.  I got out by 6:30 and was in a hurry because I was guest lecturing this morning.  Despite working on my lecture for 3 days (it was a "recruitment" talk to undergrads), STILL half of them fell asleep, and I don't think I got any takers ... even though I opened with:

“I keep saying that the sexy job in the next 10 years will be statisticians,” said Hal Varian, chief economist at Google. “And I’m not kidding.”

I did get a few groans when I told them what prerequisites they  needed to take now in order apply to grad school. sigh.

 PM: easy 4 ...

Have a great day bloggers!

Well, I think you're sexy Bonnie. Phooey on those high school kids.

I'll come to grad school! :) I just need someone to take over as mom while I'm there! I seriously could be one of those people that go to school non-stop their whole lives and just learn, learn, learn. I do hate the homework and study, but I love to learn. I've always wanted to audit medical school :) Someday...someday.

Glad things are going well!

Thank you Burt .. you just like me for my analyses.

RAD -- If I had a choice I would do the same, I guess that is why I chose academia and not industry or government -- it is close to going to school forever ;-). Hope you are doing well too!!
