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).

Stupendeously beautiful day -- a wopping 32 mins of running!

 

The only thing keeping me from freaking out -- primarily about the weight I feel I am gaining -- is that Bernard Lagat takes a month off every year, and does not run a step.  He says he gains 10 lbs, and is happy to do it.  It is true that he could gain 10 lbs and still look emaciated, but still -- he comes back stronger than ever after he does it ... so, I am just recovering ... and pretty secure that I can come back refreshed and ready to start over training (for something) again!

I hope you are all doing well bloggers -- I am sending lots of taper thoughts (positive ones) for those of you getting ready for Ogden!!  FRB FRB!!

Freudian slip with the "start over with my training" -- or "start over-training" ??

he he he ...

He still talks about how exciting it was to see and James. And, although he usually doesn't wear a watch, he is coveting Jake's birthday present.

yeah, he said he was going to tell you about all the fun we had at our post-run brunch.

i sent him a fastrunninggarmin 2.0.

Bonnie pants, I have no doubt you'll gain 10 lb of muscle. Take care of yourself, mom said.

From Bonnie on Fri, May 10, 2013 at 13:15:33 from 196.3.39.209

Mum is still mum on the matter, however!

Yes, if muscle is gained by eating Karamel Sutra Ben and Jerry's and running 15 miles a week I am all over the gain in "muscle mass" ;-)
