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.

1:52... same run as last week, but I added on some trails, because, like, who wouldn't? :)

 

I know, here it is only the 5th of January, and already, my new "keep up with blogging" New Year's resolution is amiss.  I blame it on Dean, and Ben and Jerry's (B&J was on sale, Dean bought some, even though it has been banned from the house for the past 3 months).  It is sort of the type of drug that makes me not want to participate in society, and, I have heard, it is a gateway treat.  A little B&J and the next thing you know, you are laying on the couch eating Nacho's Bel Grande, and Cheeto's.  


Happy Sunday!

AM: 8.5  including ... dadatada ... 10x:45 with 1` recovery -- a fartlek 10 x 200 workout.  YEA!  My drugs are working, my knee, my back, and my feet are better -- yes!  whooppee.  Can you tell I am happy?  What is a little hairloss when you can run?

PM: 4 miles easy.

AM: 10 miles - no watch.  I wanted to make sure to go really easy on this run ... it was not as "easy peasy" as yesterday, but it felt really good at the end :)

PM: easy 4.
