~~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.

preblogging my PM run -- very early start this morning. We are supposed to be finished at 2PM, I worked it out with the hotel that I can go for my run after the meetings are over and shower in the gym here (even though I am already checked out). What we do to get our runs in??

Very busy again today ... the reviews are intense this time.

Have a wonderful day bloggers.

Hang in there and try not to get too much stress. It's a killer, literally! :)

You really are dedicated to getting your runs in while traveling! I will use you for inspiration later this summer while I am traveling in France with my daughter and her boyfriend. I have warned them that my needs are simple: I don't speak French, so must be taken care of, and I need to run every day, somewhere.

traveling and running. Never an easy thing to do! You're doing great. Hope I can say the same...soon!

Auntieem...running in France! Ooo la, la! Now that sounds like fun!

are you doing an NIH review panel or something else? I love to run in DC when there for my NIH study section. Highlight of the meeting is getting out of the wretched room and clearing my head with a long hard run. and there are so many great places to run too in DC. too bad it is the muggy season now though.

You are a very dedicated runner.

Hey We do almost anything to get those runs in well Done Bonnie :)

I love balancing my running with work!

Scott, it was interesting it was indeed NIH -- NCI actually. We were reviewing SPOREs (large program project type applications). They took, on average, 4 hours to score (each). This was the first time these particular applications have fallen under the new page limitations and scoring system -- it seemed to be quite a challenge for many of us to "recalibrate" our internal scoring mechanism. Program had to keep reminding us, "the aim lacks scientific detail" is not a fair review comment any more ;-). I learned a lot, hopefully it will help with my upcoming resubmission (which will also be the first time these type of grants will be submitted under the new page limitations and scoring mechanism).
