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).

2:14:33.  Ran down to the trails today -- first time since snake season ;-).  so very happy to be back.  It was a beautiful beautiful beautiful day.  Sunny, not to hot, the mountains were so spectacularly pretty.  Nice nice nice!

The only "not-so-bad" thing was because of all the rains this summer the lower parts of the trail were super sandy and rocky.  But, that is not a complaint, but rather an observation!

 

I hope you are all doing well!  I have missed you very much.  I will be back more regularly again after next week, when I am back to only working one job!!

Happy trails!

AM: (8.5 miles) hill repeats -- 10 x 1` ... ouch, my bum hurts!

PM: easy 4 ... well, not so easy, it was dark and I stumbled and fell.  I did not break my wrists, but I did cuss a little - well, loudly.  sorry bloggers, mea culpa.

And, unfortunately, I might ... have broken a rib (remember I told you that your ribs get really brittle after radiation?).  I am not sure, I either broke a rib or "re-inflammed" the breast tissue by carrying boxes of books into my new desk ... either way, I am a little sore.

Hope you are doing well!!

AM: (10 miles, 1:21:32).  23:17wu/22:54cd 15 x :45 w/1:30 recovery -- an effort based 200 meter workout.  It is much harder than it looks!

PM: easy 4.

 

Still sore, but maybe probably certainly not a broken rib (thank goodness) - just sore.

Happy Thursday!!
