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).

2:03:xx Ran around Wing Mountain -- it was hot, but not Tucson hot.  Saw some cowboys rounding up cattle - they were biguns too (the cows, not the cowboys).

Working on a grant so busy busy this weekend.

AM: (9 miles, 1:21:xx). Ran up through the Fort Valley trails, started to rain at the end ... I am going to miss it here!  

PM: easy 4.

 

Last night we had dinner with Fasil (Bizuneh) and olympian Andrew Lemoncello  - it was sooooo fun.  They are both very fun people, we were also joined by Julie (Lemon's wife) and Leah (Fasil's girlfriend).  We have been hanging out a lot with Fasil and Leah, because Leah works at "The Wine Loft" and we stop by and see here after dinner sometimes.  

Tonight we had dinner with Greg and Tracy McMillan, we are leaving tomorrow :-( ....

 

I hope you are all well!!

AM: (9 miles, 1:20:xx) ran on my beautiful dirt road near my house, it was hot, but it was early enough that the sun wasn't up as high and it was very tolerable.

PM: easy 4 in San Diego -- brrrrr ... I can't believe how cold 66F feels!! ;-)

I have a beautiful view (the perk of being on the board of directors is I get a prime room ;-)). The run from the hotel is pretty, but tough on the legs (mostly brick and concrete) -- Sunday we are renting a car and driving to someplace with some dirt!!

 

Hope you are having a good week!
