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).

2:04:21.  (1:03:44/1:00:37).  (9:06/8:39).   Slower than last week mostly because they are doing some work on the trail and I had to run a slight detour (actually I ran on the part of the trail that is closed, but I had to run around some fences and down a dirt hill, and then climb a little fence to do it, sshhhh, don't tell).  I figure it might have added an extra 1-2 mins onto my time, no biggie.  Still warm (about 85F when I finished), but it felt cooler because it was a serious headwind (26mph according the app on my phone) after the turn-around.  My hair was wet from sweat on the way out, and so it was standing straight up when I finished, thanks to the natural blow-dryer -- I looked like Jersey Girl from the 70s.  

Happy Easter bloggers!!
