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: (8 hilly miles, 1:09:47).  Last 5` @ 5-10K pace ... very invigorating stuff ;-).

PM: (easy 4).

 

Busy day, as usual.  I want to stop and smell the flowers, but I am too overwhelmed with stuff.  

Have a happy day bloggers!

Are you teaching over the summer? Or, taking a well earned break? When is your current semester finishing up? One more LONG month for me. I can make it!

One more month for me too. I am not teaching this summer. I only teach 50% time, the other time I do research. I am trying to get a grant so I will only have to teach 25% time, I am not really very good at it, and really don't like it much.

Good luck on your last month - you can see the home stretch now!!!

NICE invigorating hilly miles! Good luck with the busy stuff! I'm sure the flowers will still be there next time! :)

Sometimes I smell flowers while I'm running, don't you? Count it.

ha ha ha ... yes indeed Nan, yes indeed. It has been particularly aromatic here lately ... but mainly at night. I think the trees seem to blossom during the day when it is hot ...

Nice runs! Good luck with the busy work. Do you think life will get easier some day?
