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.

1:10:48. Nice hilly recovery run.  Nice day.  I ran down to the track and then ran on the trails and uphill home.  Feeling good, allergies much better (with eye drops).  Semester is winding down (thank goodness) ... grant is due the end of May (greater thank goodness).  I can't wait to sleep a week to catch up!

Happy Friday bloggers!

I like that blog you posted yesterday. It's well-written.

Happy Friday!

binge sleeping! it's all the rage...

i'm glad there is light at the end of the tunnel -- which you can now see because of your eye drops.

ha ha ha allie, thank you for the laugh!

Tracy - I agree, Julia is a wonderful writer. Another one I like is: http://asklaurenfleshman.com/journal/

Lily - I hope you run so well, and so hard, this weekend that you sleep like a baby afterward (but not hard enough to miss church on Sunday).

Thank goodness, good Bonnie.
