~~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.

1:02:43 (32:04/30:39). Felt a little tired today, so I just took it pretty easy.

Very very busy week, but has been efficient and I have gotten a lot of important things done (besides teach). Three papers revised and out the door, a protocol finished and ready to go to the clinical trials office, some programs written to begin analysis of a study that uses a new technology for measuring expression levels of small pieces of circulating RNA. whew, I am tired just remembering it. Today is a day of meetings and late this afternoon is the inspection on our new house!

I really need to clean up the house tonight since McMillan athletes are coming in tomorrow afternoon (and I will be working all day -- at least I get to eat dinner with them, if I can get home early enough - I don't think I will make them wait until 9PM the night before a race just to eat with me ;-) ).

Happy Friday bloggers, be safe and have fun!

GOOD LUCK all you weekend racers!!!

Wow. You did have a busy week. I don't know how you do it all.

Have fun with the McMillan athletes. How cool is it that you get to hobnob with the elites?
