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.

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.

What are you racing Thursday?

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.
