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.
no running tonight other than to the hospital to have girl #3!!

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!!!!!!!

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!

That was a "low blow"!

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

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!
