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.)

Office to Puyallup River, up the steep hill to the Buttes, found an RV park in back of the Buttes... and a trail too, took the trail to an unpaved county road...

I was out in the boonies. Some rednecks were swearing at each other as they fed their burn pile. A pig decided to run alongside me for 50 meters or so. Three big dogs "welcomed" me in the middle of the dirt street. That's when I decided to turn around and retrace my steps rather than explore a new way back to the office.
