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: (6 miles, 54:24).  Up the mountain on "my trail", however, I had forgotten how crowded "my trail" can get when the weather is beautiful.  Too late for wild life, but I did see the cutest thing.  There were these two little girls somewhere between 2-3 years old riding their "mountain bikes" -- they were little wooden "bikes" with two mountain bike-like tires but with no pedals.  They had on their helmets and riding gloves and they *loved* going over the rocks (they were on the very first part of the trail, which is really not very steep or technical)  SOOOOO adorable!  And very cool of their Dad, what cool gifts and what a great way to introduce kids to the joys of nature!!  The "bikes" were so tiny that the Dad could carry one in each had when the girls got a little tired of riding (which appeared to be every 10 ft or so ;-) ).

PM: (4 easy).

I have a very good friend visiting me next weekend, so I have to clean my house .... oh yea, and I have to write a final exam ... yuck, the only thing worse than taking this exam is writing it ;-).

Happy Weekend bloggers!  GO allie!!!!

Be careful! Remember last time you went on a cleaning frenzy you hurt your back! :)

ha ha ha, don't I remember Kim. This time I am going to straighten and organize and leave the heavy cleaning to professionals ;-)

Be careful in the snow!
