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.

MORNING:  6.5 Miles.  will do more tonight + indoor soccer.  7:30/mile average.  did some unstructured speed-ups/faster miles mixed in with a couple 8:15's.  Just one of those "whatever goes" days. Woke up too late to get my 10 in. 

AFTERNOON:  4 Miles while pushing the girls in the jogger.  7:12/mile average with last mile at 6:22. 

LATE NIGHT: A couple miles sprinting around in an indoor soccer game.  My first game back since my last bad ankle injury.  Was fun to get back out there, and the shorter speedwork should be good for me (If I don't injure myself!)

Nice mileage!! Wish I could handle doubles but not yet. Good luck.

Thanks. I did my normal mileage, but I'm finding myself having to break it up during the days now because I'm a lazy bum and can't get up while it's dark anymore!! I used to be up automatically at 5:30, now with it being darker later, I'm barely out by 6:20. It's fun to run with my girls though, they get a kick out of it and encourage me to pass people. The only drawback is that they try and have me talk to them at the same time!!
