| Location: Puyallup,WA,USA Member Since: Apr 15, 2012 Gender: Male Goal Type: Boston Qualifier Running Accomplishments: I've been running since I was a 7th grader in 1988. At Washington High School (Parkland, WA), I ran on the cross country team and did the 800m, 1600m, and 3200m in track and field.
In college, a hamstring injury and IT band pain ended my college competitive racing almost before it began. With the help of my cousin, Preston, who was in Physical Therapy School, my injuries healed and I began running again.
In the 2000's my goals shifted to attaining a BQ. After making nearly every mistake possible in the marathon, I finally BQ'd and then ran Boston in 2010.
Personal Records:
1600m: 4:31 (1992)
Marathon: 3:09:41 (2012) Short-Term Running Goals: Get my body weight below 180 lbs
Race a sub-40 10k
Consistently run 40+ miles/week Long-Term Running Goals: Sub 3 hour marathon PR
Race a sub 5 minute mile... one more time! (Last time I did it was when I was a teenager.) Personal: Check out my facebook Favorite Blogs: |

FSRC Resolution Run 15 Mile (15 Miles) 01:48:40, Place overall: 42, Place in age division: 5 | | Easy Miles | Marathon Pace Miles | Threshold Miles | VO2 Max Miles | Trainer 1 Miles | Trainer 2 Miles | Racer Miles | Total Distance | | 0.50 | 15.06 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 15.56 |
| 1:48:40 (7:13/mi) It was a beautiful day! Sunny and warm (for this time of year). I raced in shorts and a long-sleeve T-shirt. My intent was to treat this race as more of a progression training run. Plan was to run the first 5 miles in 8:00 to 8:30 pace, the second 5 miles around 7:30 pace, and the last 5 miles under 7:00 pace. After the gun went off though, everyone took off, including me...FAST! It was a real struggle to reign myself in for that first mile (7:19). I felt good and decided to change my plan: do 7:30ish pace for the first 10, then ramp it up. I couldn't believe the number of runners that hit the turnaround halfway point ahead of me! Sure... I wasn't racing all-out, but I wasn't running easy either. For the last 5K, I picked up the pace (6:49, 7:00, 6:34) and took out a few runners. Later-on, they congratulated me on my kick. We had a nice loaded baked potato and cake for lunch at the awards ceremony! Even though I took 5th place for my age division of this race, I took 1st place for my age division for the series. Next race is the 20 mile in one month! | |
