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.
Matt, I can't believe you are already up to such high milage after SG. I love the picture with both feet off the ground. Great race Sat. It was nice running with you for some of it.
Matt, will this be your first Boston? Where are you staying in Boston? I have my room reserved at the Raddison near the finish line, but I haven't registered yet for Boston. I think my goal will be to go sub 3 at Boston. If I can do that, then I'll try and take it down significantly for SGM next year.
It will be my first Boston! I'm excited. We'll kind of be doing it on a budget. We actually reserved a place in Framingham (Just northeast of the Start) and we're renting a car to cruise around other parts of Mass for a couple of days. Our weekly rate at the "inn" is $275 (for the whole week!), and it actually has decent reviews. The plan for Boston days is that we'll drive 10 minutes to Newton and take the subway into downtown. We'll be there from April 14th - 21st. I'll probably tire myself out pretty well before the race, but oh well, I'll shoot for sub 3 anyways.
