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.

20.20 Miles on trail. Again, another drained long run. 7:41/mile average. Effort felt harder than I thought it should be. Actually felt better though 2nd half of run and mixed in some 7:00 and just sub 7:00 miles. I know how good I can feel on "good" days, and hope that a lot of my feeling has to do with bad habits with sleeping/eating/lack of drinking. I'm really going to try to get some more sleep these next few weeks and see what that does for me.

Well Matt, all you can do now is get that good sleep and good eating and some quick paced runs, but not too long to keep the legs fresh. No more super long runs, they'll only hurt from this far out. I think you will do great at Boston. I was thinking while I was running this morning on how we could meet up at Boston with all the chaos that goes on around there. The best plan I could come up with is meet at the front of the bag drop off bus for your bib # like half hour before race time. Give me any thoughts you have on that.
