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.

Waited until evening to run because it was hot and sunny when I finally got up (my antibiotics make me photosensitive).  Felt good to run again, coughed up a lung when I stopped, but I feel much better.

 

Have a great week bloggers!

48:26. Up hill and dale.

very busy couple of days while I try to, again, make up for too much lost time at work.  I am on my way to DC on Wednesday and then next week we are on our way to Flagstaff.  Goal for the week: work up to more than 600 cals/day so I can have energy to run longer.

I miss my kitty, Titus, who is missing (up here in the mountains,  missing pretty much means the worst case).  It has been a tough month, I can't wait for July.

Have a wonderful day bloggers.

1:04:23.  I was able to eat three almost normal-sized meals yesterday!  It showed on my run, I still ran very easy, but I felt pretty good.

I hope all is well bloggers!

1:14:05.  Yes, still much slower than usual, but it is the hottest day of the year so far (projected 111F) and I am still feeling a little weak.  Just happy to be able to run at all.  I did also get to see Big Boy and CoCo today for the first time in 2 weeks.  They seemed happy to see me(carrots) too ...

 

Happy Wednesday bloggers.  I have to finish packing and get to the airport.

1:00:35.   Got in last night at 11:30 EST, ironed my clothes and talked to Dean ... got up this morning at 5:45 to run.  It is humid, but it actually feels pretty good (mainly because the highs here are in the 90s and not 111!).   Tired, but at least I don't feel sick like last week.

 

Busy day!!

59:27 ... same as yesterday, worked all day, went over to my friend house (their kids were disappointed I did not bring anything -- I usually do, but I am lame these days) for dinner.  Got up at the same time (5:45 EST = 2:45 Tucson Time).

Humid, but a cool 80F this morning.

Working all day, but the trip back to the west coast is easier -- leave at 5:30PM, arrive at 9:00!

 

Happy Friday bloggers!

Took an easy day ... I want to run long tomorrow and with the travels and since I am still on antibiotics I decided to forgo my original 12 mile plan (usual Saturday).  Since it is so hot now (108 today) I will need to get up very very early to run tomorrow, but it will be worth it!!

Happy Saturday bloggers!
