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.

Up the Yeatman trail - it was a brisk 37F today.  I didn't have my watch, somehow I left it in my office last night -- speaking of last night, I ran my 4 miles in the dark at the track ... mind numbing, I mean seriously, mind numbing!

Off to teach ...  Have a wonderful hump day!

It gets that cold in Tucson?! No fair!

37 feels like a Hawaiian Holiday to me. :)

That does seem cold for Tuscon!! I am surprised. I ran in the dark last night also; I think I ran faster for it, as I always forget the trails in our park are darker than dark.

Darker than dark. Sounds like it should be a song.

I'm with the crowd. That does seem cold for Tucson. But it would be balmy here in Denver.

You are SO SO SO SO SO DEDICATED!!! It was cold here too; but not as cold as you had it in Tucson!
