Running Accomplishments:

High school (in San Diego) I ran a 16:40 5k and a 4:33 mile.  Have run 11 marathons. 

PR - Ogden 2009 - 2:55:10

 

Haven't done a 5k or 10k or half in a long time.  I just enjoy doing my regular daily runs and then hittin' the Marathons.  I might slip in some shorter/faster races this year.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Drop some more weight (get down to 150),  keep Pr'ing, and try to stay injury free.  Get a 2:46:42 or better in a marathon - I wanna beat Lance's PR!!

Get out on more trails around the valley and enjoy the scenery.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Focus on marathons and possibly ultras? Keep healthy and lean.

Personal:

Married with 2.95 girls.

Mom and Baby Jillian are great! thanks. 1:43 am and a healthy 7 lb. 13 oz chica. I'll post a pic in today's log.

Congratulations!

Congratulations, as well.

A belated congratulations from me. So when are you going to produce that baby boy?

From Jon A on Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 14:29:36 from 67.214.249.195

Rhett, he is fast, but evidently isn't THAT fast! :-) Matt, I would suggest not looking into Tri's, your fast swimmers are not that fast!

Laughing my head off!!!!!!!

From mattk on Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 14:30:48 from 67.214.249.195

Thanks,

I think I might be done!! I love my girls and would love a boy, but not enough to keep trying for one. We'll see; we'll probably have one more.

Hope all is well with you and your recovery!

jon,

That was a "low blow"!

From Jon A on Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 14:32:43 from 67.214.249.195

Sorry. Tooooo funny.

From josse on Fri, Jun 26, 2009 at 22:07:28 from 75.216.118.141

Ya! congrats on the new arrival. Hope things are going well and the parents are getting some sleep.

Hey, a belated congratulations, but do you always take a month off after a baby? Remember it's your wife who went through the physical labor, not you ;D

From richborget on Sun, Oct 04, 2009 at 23:49:02 from 71.199.12.164

Matt,

I hope you were not too disappointed in your finish. I enjoyed hanging out before the race. I really would like to hook up and go run sometime. Shoot me an email or something.

From mattk on Mon, Oct 05, 2009 at 10:31:39 from 67.214.249.195

Rich,

Awesome race to you!! Way to go get the sub 2:50! With some more speed work, you'll be ready for another break- through next year.

As far as my race, I'm not too disappointed; I have no right to be!! I didn't do myself any favors the last 1.5 months and it was apparent Sat. I thought I'd go for broke and try to keep my place in the slam, because finishing 10-20 minutes slower (walking/running last 5 miles)didn't matter at that point.

I'll regroup and hopefully be in good shape for a good spring Marathon!
