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. (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).

AM: 8 miles

not as good of a week as last week.  my joints are swollen, and I am not feeling as good, in general.  But, still better than last month.  As long as I don't get 'worse' I am planning on continuing to plug along and run a little more.

Ran up "trails end" road,  this is a 4.5% grade hill that lasts a little over 2 miles.  It is beautiful, very few houses, but lots and lots of saguaro!

AM: 8 miles

PM: 3.5 (maybe a little longer, but not my typical 4 mile loop).  

Taking it a little easy - I want to keep the mileage upped a little ...

I am experiencing a little back-slide, not sure if the medication is not working as well, or maybe I am just overdoing it.  I will keep plugging away.
