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).

1:02:34.  Beautiful morning (45F and sunny) -- I went by to see Dover (the horse) and brought him some carrots, but not many.  As I was backing away from the fence he bit my finger -- ouch.  I know he did not mean to, but it did hurt.  Luckily I was wearing some lightweight gloves that protected me from some of it.  I will wear my bleeding knuckle like a badge of honor ;-)

Happy Friday bloggers!

How many others on the blog can say they got bit by a horse today!? :-)

only the ones who are silly enough to carry carrots for horses for 3 miles on their run ;-).

Very good point - I would put $$ on the fact that you were the only one running with carrots this morning

Hi Bonnie...been doing some catching up on the blog and saw that you've been dealing with some tough health issues. I'm so, so sorry. I will keep you in my prayers. As the French would say, "Du courage mon amie." Hang in there my friend (I might add running, Arizona friend!)
