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.
3.44 Miles. 7:31/mile. Legs felt pretty good, just the humidity is getting to me. I sweat a lot and am nervous that the warmth/humidity on Thurs. is going to zap me.
D.N. Marathon. I'm doing grand slam this year, and I'm either going to skip the park city or the TOU, so I have to do D.N. My quads are awaiting a rude awakening!
Hopefully the weather will be nice and cool for you guys and the humidity will be gone. I think you are going to do great in the marathon. Just take it easy on the uphills and you will be fine. Have a great race!
Thanks for the encouragement Josse. I really don't want to push it as hard as I think I'm capable (my only goal is to get a BQ race under my belt), but I know I'll regret it if I feel I could've gone faster.
