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: (8 hilly,  hot miles, 1:12:35).  Worked late last night so we did not sit down to eat until 9:30 (I hate when we do that) ... and did not get to bed until around midnight.  It was hot this morning (the air-conditioner kicked on at 5AM - it is set at 75) so I knew if I did not get up it was going to be uncomfortable ... but, I still did not get out the door until 9.  So, yup, it was uncomfortable.  But, it is over ... ;-).

PM:(4 miles easy).  

Have to go check race results, BB, Comrades marathon, and NCAA regionals .... lots of racing going on!

Have a good weekend bloggers!

Good job getting out in spite of the heat.

To help lighten your race-checking load (for the next several hours, at least), Comrades doesn't start until tomorrow, South Africa time, which is late tonight here (I think it's 11 EDT, maybe... they've got it on the irunfar website)

On the same note, another article about Cox running it on letsrun.com today. This article almost assumes he'll win, which does kind of cause the spiteful ultrarunner in me to want Wardian to win just to show that there is talent in ultras...

Hi Nevels, I am all about Wardian for the win too, mainly because I think he is a down-to-earth kind of guy. Today is NCAA's, tomorrow is Comrades and Monday is BB -- I will be surfing for hours (like I don't usually anyway!).

Yeah, all these race results make for some fun reading!
