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).

1:08:49 ... pretty much downhill for 35 mins, then uphill for 33 - I guess I was feeling better than I realized.   Today I ran near the Snowbowl, I ran near the bottom of the mountain road, the sign said 7520ft.  It was brutally hilly, I huffed and I puffed and was glad when it was done ;-).

Happy Hump Day bloggers!

Wow. Nice altitude!

ha ha ha -- I could have blown the straw house down for sure, not sure about the brick one ;-).

Hi JD ... yes, it is really nice. What is also really nice (besides it not being 111F or higher) is that there are just a never-ending number of forest service roads to run on here ... I don't have to step foot on concrete even for a second!!
