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.

1:46:49.  I was feeling so good today that I decided to put on a little pressure at the end of the run.  My hilly "usual" for right now.  I will probably jump up to 2 hours (~14 miles) next week -- when we are in FLAGSTAFF!!  Can anyone say 30F or more cooler?  Yea baby!  

Can't wait.  We have a house for 3 weeks.   I will likely need to come back down for a few days in there for work, but most of the time I will be cooling off and training high (altitude-wise :)).


I am in heaven with all the Track and Field on TV this weekend!  living the dream!

Happy weekend bloggers!

AM: 6.5 miles, I had to cut my run a little short.  With the high temps (it was 92F at 6AM), and the smoke from the fire (in New Mexico), my throat was burning 25 mins into the run).  We drove up to Flagstaff!! (yes) though not without some drama.  It was so hot that we really had to keep an eye on our temp gauges, especially on the steeper climbs. B3 hours after we left home my car finally registered 99F, something I hadn't seen in a long time.  It was 90F in Flagstaff, who knew 90 could feel so cool?

PM: easy 4
