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).

Getting sick.... Saw the doctor yesterday, told me to stop methotrexate for the week because of my side effects.  He put me on folinic acid ... Precursor to folic acid, he said this should help me with my hair loss and mouth sores.  The cold is just an added benefit :-) 

Skipped my PM run ... I want to beat this cold!!  I don't have any WBCs so I want to be careful.  Good news?  My blood work is much much better than before I started treatment, and my liver is holding up well!

I had to cancel my trip to DC (work), and trip with Dean to see his Mom ... I didn't want to infect the world, and get sicker ... Sad, but I think I made the right decision.

Still raining ... Well over 24 hours now.

I am meeting my boss today for a meeting, that is how bad our schedules are ... The only time we can find to meet is on the weekend!  We did meet at a coffee shop, so that is good!
