~~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.

AM: (8+ miles, 1:06:39). 23:38wu/22:59cd + 10 x 1` w/1` recovery. Ahhhh ... found a great, hilly, dirt road. Good to be running hard(er) again!

PM: easy 4.

Had to rush to work today, it was my day to give lab meeting and I regaled them with my "new" talk: "Incorporating Biomarkers into Clinical Trials". This is my second "test case" for this talk - which is an evolutionary process - the first were the biostatistics grad students, and now a bunch of cancer biologists/cellular and molecular biologists/biochemists. Except for the lab director (who slept through most of it) - I could tell they were enthralled (not ;-)).

I hope you are all doing well!! Happy trails!

Hilly dirt roads are the best. I can't wait until we can run on the Jeremy Ranch road in Park City again

Hey I could use some quality sleep! Sign me up for some textbook enthralling.

Nice running :)

Jake, miss Jeremy Ranch road sooooo much. I love the net downhill out and uphill back, such good training!

allie, you follow just fine, I am sure! And if you don't, just think up recipes and nod your head a lot.

Dan - apparently, for Dave the lab director, it definitely helps induce sleep! Come on by!
