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).

2:02:13.  Ahhhh ... nice run from the hotel to the convention center and then over to Stanley Park.  The only bummer was that most of the run was on pavement ... ouch.  I did find some trails in the park, about 40 mins in to my run,  and I just meandered around for 40 mins in the park and then ran 40 mins back to the hotel.  Pretty nice running through the rain forest (it was humid but the temps were pretty low so it was extremely pleasant).  Now I need to get ready for the first of many meetings ... dinner meeting for the executive committee for the Biometrics Section and then the opening mixer.  Tomorrow morning I am chairing a session and then I have a conference call in the afternoon, a Google reception in the evening (they have a big statistics contingent) and dinner with some colleagues ... more of the same on Tuesday ... fun, but busy and sometimes tedious.  Hopefully I can make it to some talks too!

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!

The best part of this to me was the mixer! I hope you had fun and behaved yourself, young lady!!!

It warms my heart just to know you are in the PNW. I guess there are a lot of fires up in BC right now. (http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/) Did you see the blood red sun setting yesterday?
