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, 1:22:56).  Hilly run at pretty easy pace.  For having a week of recovery my legs are surprisingly dead and heavy.  I reduced my caloric intake a lot last week, to compensate for the lack of running -- but for some reason I still felt like I was trudging along carrying an extra persons worth of weight ... oh well, nice run anyway!

PM: (4 miles easy).

Happy running bloggers!

Maybe you need to eat more to give yourself more energy. In any case, I'm sure you'll feel better tomorrow (or this evening on your second run).

I am sure your legs will be up and running in a few days; rest days always do that to me too! I don't reduce my food though!

I have often times thought of it as running on "ham hocks" ... but I love your description better!
