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.

Ran with Josse, Sasha, Jeff and Michelle in the morning.  Was planning on just doing a run on my own to get back into it this week after my brutal/taxing run on Saturday.  Definitely wasn't planning on doing mile repeats.  Well, I didn't have the heart to wuss out on a good interval workout, especially with that crew.  Sasha asked who wanted to be "pulled" and pulls out this funky bungee contraption.  I got very scared, acted like I didn't hear him, and started walking away.  Luckily Josse volunteered without too much coercion and I was safe.  Turns out it was a good workout for both of them, but as we all ran along, I couldn't help but imagine that we looked like a running ringling bros. circus as we passed bikers/walkers.  Josse even got a good chuckle as she was pulled along.  We did 400m rest in between each repeat and did 5:48, 5:49, 5:45, 5:46, 5:43, 5:42.  Thanks to all for a good workout and for the pacing help. 

Ran 4.50 later while lindsay pulled the girls with the bike.  7:07 average pace.

Thanks for doing the workout with us! Its more amazing to do that workout when you feel like you won't/can't at the start. And yet you did it without any struggling. When's your next race?
