10 mile: 1:13:35 (2009) (1:12:15 split in 1/2 marathon, 2011)
1/2 marathon: 1:34:31 (2011)
marathon: 3:19:15 (2013)
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 miles, 1:21:45). In a hurry, and my leg is still really sore. What the hey?
PM: easy 4.
Shopping for a new "used" car, unfortunately, with my new job comes a little commute.
Happy Thursday bloggers!!

Boo indeed, Burt- I am not a patient "driver".
Thank you Joe, it is scary (I have been in academics for a very long time!) - but exciting.
