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.

9.40 Miles 1:17:14 (8:13/mile).  Ran with Sasha and Jeff.  Did 2 -100m sprints and then a 200m sprint.  I think they said my times were about 15, just under 13, and then just over 29.  I hadn't had a full out sprint in years and it felt pretty good. . . until the second half of the 200.  My body started shutting down at that point.  The run as a whole felt really good.  I'm comparing it to a couple weeks ago, or even last week, when I felt like I was struggling to get in the miles (even the slow miles).  I think my body is adapting to the early morning runs and the higher mileage.  I'm still not getting the ideal amount of sleep (about 6 hours average), but I'm surprised that I'm not dragging anymore throughout the day. 

Started wearing the NB 710's today.

Hey once you run with your new gagdet for another week would you mind posting a product review in the discussion forum? I am sure there are many who would like to hear about how you like it.
