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.

Matt, how's the taper coming. My legs and body felt so thrashed yesterday, I just took the day off, my first non-Sunday rest day since early January. I feel much better today, but still havn't ran yet.

OK Matt, I assume you are packing those bags and getting ready to go. I propose we meet at the first drop off bus at the front of it by the engine at 8:30. Then we can hang for a while at the village. Call me sometime on Sat or Sun in Boston, or I'll call you. Have fun there this week. Boston is sweet!!!!

Rhett,

I'm gone already! Well, I'm still sitting here at work, but I'm 'gone'.

The taper's coming well. I pushed it harder than I should've on my 14 miler on Sat, but I just felt so good. Felt easy. I'll plan on 8:30 at the bus, and we'll talk this weekend. Looks like the weather should be okay (at least no freezing storms).
