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.

15.20 Miles. 8:03/mile. Ran 7.20 to and from the BYU Smith Fieldhouse.  Ran 8 inside around the track.  Left knee went from being a gentle nuisance to actual pain at some points during the run.  I don't think logging this many miles the week after the marathon helped at all.

Yeah! I think you are out of your mind to log that many miles the week after a fast marathon, but you know your body best. Some experts recommend taking a full 26 days of any serious running after a marathon. I think that is overdoing it, but there is something to be said for a little recovery time. What's your next race?

I know, I know. Despite what I "know", I often go against it. I really have felt good though. Actually stronger than I have in weeks leading up to the marathon. I'll take it a bit easier on the knee this next week and see how it responds. Next race for sure is Boston, but I may try to slip the L.A. Marathon in Feb as a tune up/gage to see where I'm at at that point.

Hope the knee is not from IT band issues. Take care of yourself.
