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).

2:16:40 ... same route as last week.  It was a little cooler, but frankly it did not really feel like it ;-).  I don't feel as sick as last week afterward, so it was definitely cooler (plus I was 30 secs faster).  

I can't believe classes start tomorrow ... I have to finish cleaning my house and then prep a little - I have to remember how to teach how to do linear algebra proofs. 

 

Happy Sunday to you all!!!

AM: (9 miles, 1:20:59).  30:20wu/30:39cd  and 10 x 1` w/1` recovery.  Nice and hot, but not as hot as last week -- probably in the 95F range.

PM: easy 4.

 

So so so so busy this week, classes have started and things are tough at the beginning of the week.  More later!

 

Happy running bloggers!

AM: 8 miles (1:13:12).  Ran to see Coco and Big Boy - Coco has recovered!  Their dog, Connor, however, was bit by a rattlesnake last night - yikes, he is in the dog hospital now. There was a story on NPR the other day that said that rattlesnake bites are almost doubled this year (in humans), compared to previous years.  I guess it is probably doubled for animals too ...

PM: easy 4.

Yup, mileage is less than I wanted this week ... but seriously, I can't believe how busy I am.  I haven't gotten a full nights sleep all week, and pretty much every waking hour is work (well, and running ;-) ).  Sometimes, you just have to do what you have to do!

Happy weekend bloggers.
