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: (10+ miles, 1:26:55).  30:10wu/29:38cd  10 x 45" w/2` recovery.  Was hard, both because it was so hot (95F and sunny) and I am out of shape and not sleeping much.

PM: 4 miles easy.

 Hope you are all having a nice week bloggers!!

We are in the 50's now in the morning and the 80's during the day. Come for a visit!

Bonnie: I have been away awhile and am just catching up on your blog! So, so sorry to hear about your mom. I hope you are doing well, resting, running, and taking care of yourself.

Thank you auntie, it has been one of the most difficult times of my life. It wasn't a surprise, but I have found you really can't prepare for it.

I doubt you are out of shape and I am sorry you are not sleeping much. Yuck, such brutal heat! I hope you get those 70s next week--they will be heavenly!

Your out of shape is better than most of us in shape. Keep strong Bon, hope your sleep comes back to you.
