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).

???  I don't know how long this took.   Dean and I drove over to Sugarhouse (he can't run much and did not want to waste much of his mileage running on the roads) and ran on the outside of the park on the grass -- I did 3 laps around the park (~2 miles each lap) and then the mile uphill back to the "condo".  Nice day, we got out at 11AM (I love it!) and it was nice and cool -- cooler than 5AM in Tucson!

We have to get some wedding stuff, and then go  help out Steve and Rosemary before the rehearsal dinner tonight.  I did not actually plan it this way but we are right across the street from where the wedding and reception will be held and 2 blocks from their house!!!  I did not realize all of this until last night when we drove in!  I rented a condo from "Vacation Rentals By Owner" -- ever since we did this in Europe is what I do whenever we travel (on personal travel) - it is much cheaper than a hotel, usually more room, and more comfortable too.  

I hope you have a wonderful day bloggers!

Enjoy the little holiday! We always do that when we travel too; a condo or apartment is so much easier and you can have your own food. We had an apartment in Paris, and it was sooo much nicer than a hotel for that amount of time.
