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, 1:17:49).  8 miles + 8 x 100m strides.  Nice day ... cloudy and chilly -- just perfect for a run.  Everyone (the other two families) left yesterday so just Dean and I and his Mom today ... it is pretty quiet now ;-)

PM: (4 miles easy)

I hope you all are recovered from your holidays!

I hope you're able to enjoy a quiet day today.

I heard it's colder in Phoenix (Mr. Sno's parents' town) than it is up here in the North! Enjoy!

As for recovering, it might take a few days. I think I have pumpkinpieitis.

Nice blog! It's impressive how many miles you run. I would love to run twice a day someday.
