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.

Planned on running 10 tonight, was feeling good for most of the run.  Probably pushing a little harder than I should, but nothing too fast.  averaged 6:54/mile for the 9.28 miles and then I felt something weird in my calf and deep in my butt cheek.  Felt like I had slighty pulled my calf, but don't know why I felt it in my glut as well.  Decided to walk the rest of the way back, but jogged probably the last 100m and it felt okay, but it was tight.  I need to be patient and just recover!

Quit running so hard so soon after a fast marathon. You have to give your body a little time to recover. What is your next race?

I know. I kept telling myself to slow down, but I'm too stubborn. It is still tight/sore today and feels like I'd limp along if I tried to run on it. I'll probably take a couple days and ice. Next race. . . 2 weeks! I'm doing Ogden Marathon. This is the year I injure myself bad!

Don't do it (injur yourself), it's not all it's cracked up to be. I soooooo wish I could run right now.
