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.

A.M. 10 easy on treadmill at 8:27/mile pace.  2% incline.  Tired from last night's run.  Felt good though to get a morning run in.  I'll try to transition over to 100% morning running.

Looks like you're on your way to beating Lance this year. I know my home treadmill is not calibrated very well. In contrast, the higher end ones I run on at the gym seem to have a good correlation. Perhaps your runs are just getting easier because you are getting so studly.

Well, I was really trying to say that in a round about way!! No, I really think it must be off a little.

I think I'll try and shoot for a 2:55-3:00 at Boston and see where it takes me (No beating Lance this year). I'd rather be more conservative and leave some in tank than make Boston a horrible experience. Priority 1 this year is to enjoy the experience.
