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.

| 1:52:43. It was such a nice day. I got out late -- but it is Fall -- and it still was only 87F when I finished! yippee! Instead of my hilly run, I did a weird version of a few of my morning runs all strung together -- it was still hilly, but not the same level of "grinding" hills.
Very happy with the progress on the health front. I am getting better every week! yea!
Happy taper week bloggers!

| I found a new favorite route today -- I have run this before, but not often. It basically is a nice slow grinding uphill for ~3 miles and then nice easy downhill. I think I have described this before, but we live in the mountains, there are quite a few homes, but mostly they are spread out over about 2 acres each, and there are mountain stretches were there are no homes -- sort of like Emigration Canyon area. This road has homes, but most of them are at the end of the road -- in a canyon slot ... where they have spectacular views of the city and the mountains to the East and North (the Northeast side is home to Mt. Lemmon, a 9000ft peak that has skiing in the Winter - and not 110F days in the Summer). Anyway, the road up to the canyon is just filled with smaller hillsides full of saguaro cacti -- and it is SO beautiful in the morning - when the moutainsides look red from the sun. It is a perfect spot!
How can I not have a good day??!!
Happy running bloggers.

So, one of my projects hit a very big milestone today -- we got an Investigational Drug Exemption (IDE) filed with the FDA. We are the companion diagnostic test for pharmacutical drug that is going to start being used in clinical trials. It is very exciting, and the drug has the potential to save the lives of people with lung cancer - it was in the news this week. This was a huge project - we have been working towards this for 6 months -- there are probably about 40 people working on the project. I am part of the leadership team, so I think I might get a plaque or something -- oh boy :)
Anyway -- it is not my only project, but it has been the one that has been most challenging to me, because it was something I had never done before. So, I am excited to have been able to finish this part!
