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).

Great run, felt good, it was hilly, it was sunny (but not hot), I felt great!

AM: (9.5 miles, 1:22:23).  10 x :45 w/a little over 1` recovery. Great workout, it is much hard than it looks (kind of like a 10 x 200 meter workout with 200 recovery).

PM: easy 4

AM: 8 miles, it was COLD. Like cold!  Last night we got in about 11PM after battling weather for 3 hours.  Started pouring outside of Phoenix, then it turned to fog so heavy you could barely see, and then it snow at about 6500ft.  We almost slid off the road at one point ... but luckily everyone (especially the trucks) were going pretty slow and we made safe and sound!  Woke up to a nice blanket of snow this morning, and realized I did not pack warm enough running stuff.  My hands took the worst of it (it was about 7F with the wind chill) -- but much much better than 110F ;-)

PM easy 4 before heading to the trivia party!

Our table was full of fun people.  Kellyn Johnston (TeamUSA Arizona athlete) and her husband, and Aaron Braun (super stud) and his wife ... FUN.  I think we came in 4th overall - I bought a lot of raffle tickets and we tried to buy the Fat Tire bike in the auction -- Greg McMillan ended up getting it in the end, I guess we did not want it as badly as he and Tracy did!
