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: (9.5 miles, 1:21:50).  24:48wu/29:23cd.  10 x :45 w/2` recovery.  Greg wanted me to do these at about 70% to try out the leg.  I still can't get adequate push-off, my hip feels stuck.  After Sunday (I ran and then sat at the computer for 5 hours) I am pretty sure it is because of all the sitting at the computer.  My hamstring was killing me all night Sunday.  More exercises, more getting up from my chair during the day at work, and more ART is in order I guess.   

PM: easy 4.

1.5 weeks with no teaching - yippee.  That means 8-10 hour days at work instead of 10-12, YEA.  Next week we are going to Alabama to see Dean's Mom.  I have two conference calls that I can't get out of ... but I to be able to relax a bit (on the redneck riviera) too.

I hope you are having a wonderful week bloggers!!

man, I missed your hip issues. Sounds like they are working out - maybe slowly, but getting there all the same. Miles and paces look good to me! Enjoy your redneck riviera!

Sorry about the hip woes! If you figure out a way to keep your body happy sitting, let me know. I never do well when I've got a lot of sit down work to do.

Maybe sitting in a chair is the culprit. I should get up and walk around.

Have fun in Alabama, and then come visit your mom in Colorado.

CinC -- I would love to come to Colorado, but my Mom LOVES to come here!! Maybe this summer (it will be nice and cool there ;-)). Mom is up in Fort Collins now - we would probably have to meet up in Boulder to run -- maybe we let Nan lap us.

I'm up for that, Bonnie.
