marathon: 3:19:15 (2013)
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.

Ran on the Berri bike path! Conference started today. Met Nate Silver late at night in the business center (he is giving the invited talk for the conference) - we both are staying on the concierge level of the hotel and it was after the opening mixer for the conference. I had to print off some things for a meeting that I was chairing the next morning -- it was probably about midnight. I thought to myself how funny it would be if he too was in the business center -- and just as I was finishing up, in he walks! For those of you who don't know Nate Silver, he is a statistician/reporter (he calls himself a reporter - we call him a statistician) who correctly called the Presidential election and nearly 100% of the congressional seats in both 2008 and 2012 -- he also has a couple of books, a very popular blog on the NY Times website (though he is moving to ESPN this year) - and has been doing the late night TV circuit (Tonight Show, Daily Show, Colbert Report, etc.) for the past year or so. I showed him around, told him how happy we were that he was speaking at the conference, etc. and out he walks. I later realized I had not introduced myself, and most likely thought I worked for the hotel :) Luckily, I met him at a reception on monday night -- so I think that misconception might have been cleared up :)
