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).

AM: 15 miles.  Feeling back to normal.  I need to remind myself that instead of berating myself for having bad runs, I need to remind myself that I generally have bad runs for a reason.  Now that I am "better" I realize that last Sunday *should* have been an indicator that something was "up".

I have missed you all.  My life is so crazy right now.  My new job is great, but coupled with my "old" job, I am very very overwhelmed.

AM: 27:42wu/27:32cd  10 x :25 w/1` recovery.  The :25 are very fast (for me) - A cyclist came up next to me and said "you are running 10 mph" (6 min pace - it was one of the uphill portions).  I was surprised.  

 

I was at work until very late, then I went to change into my running clothes ... drat - I had: socks, shoes, running bra, shirt, and that is all ... no shorts.

I will try to "make up" the missing 2nd run tomorrow.

AM: Hill repeats 8 x 1` up a very steep hill, jog down.

PM: easy 4.

Drove up to Phoenix for MRI -- why you ask?  Because my surgeon likes this center better, but he doesn't drive up!  I am ok ...this is my "other" breast.  They are "watching it"
