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.

9.92 miles. 1:11:53 (7:15/mile)

Got out of bed a little easier this morning. . . . anxious to try out my new toy.  I got the new Garmin 405.  My wife is getting into running and wore my 201 and liked it.  Next thing I knew, she wanted me to buy the new one so she could have the old.  I guess I could do that. 

I didn't really plan on doing a tempo today, but I ran my first three miles at 7:11 pace, which is faster than my normal "loggin' miles" pace.  Amazing how a watch can make you faster!  Thought it was pointless to be in the middle ground for pace, so I made my next 3 a short tempo at about 6:20 each.  (6:26, 6:25, 6:10).  Was a little under 8 for the rest of the run. Ran with Sasha, Josse and Jeff for a couple of miles on the way back. 

P.M. - 1.65 miles on the treadmill at 7:30 trying out two different pairs of shoes.

Please Matt, tell everyone about "Precious". I'm seeing the gang talk about it, I think many want a review. Come on, don't hold out.
