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).

1:02:40 (31:32/31:07).  I tried hard to keep it slow today ... very very tired - after my class today I have two major projects I have to finish.  One is going to be a big deal as we are writing a letter that tears apart a study that was published in a scientific journal (it will create some "letter to the editor" wars that will likely last a year or so).  The other is designing a trial to look at a new biomarker for colon polyps.  Things are hectic right now.

Tomorrow I will have more time to catch-up with everyone -- run well, have fun, be safe!!

Sometimes I think tiredness comes not only from what we just did but from what we know lies ahead in the next 24 hours! Go get 'em on that letter. Veritas vincit! :)

ha ha ha ... my Latin from college has finally paid off (besides being able to understand conservative Catholic masses)!

Oh if it only were so that truth prevails, often it is who speaks with more authority ;-).

You rock Sno!

Thanks Auntie -- I am stubborn that is for sure!

Thanks Carolyn, ambitious is one way to look at it ;-).

Colon polyps? Gross.
