Short-Term Running Goals:

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).

1:50:34.  Hilly, hilly run.  I felt so good today, night and day my running friends.  The swelling in the joints of my hips is way way down, my back does not hurt, my feet (the toe joints) don't hurt, and the the only remaining niggling pain is in my knee.  And, I can get out of bed again, without feeling like I haven't slept in months ... yea!  I am so relieved, and not nearly as grouchy :)

It has been a way too warm winter, I know for those of you in the cold it sounds wonderful, but it has been a very dry winter, and does not bode well for the summer here - high fire danger already.  Anyway -- it is nice, but warm.  

Have a wonderful week bloggers!

AM: 8.5 miles, very hilly, and faster than usual ... Yippee.  

PM: 3.5 miles.  Gale-force winds, and rain, until 5 mins before this run, then it was *perfect* oh happy days!

 

Run happy!
