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.)

Foothills trail

I think this is the first time I've done any fast running since the Portland Marathon. I felt good, so I did a couple of miles at around 10K pace.

I just felt really tired this morning. It probably has to do with the time change. It seemed like it would be better to rest up today and run fresh another day.

Green River Trail

It's Mastertrack weekend. All-day class on dental implants at Seatac. Too dark outside to run around the airport, so I drove down the hill to Home Depot and did an out-and-back on the Green River Trail. I'm glad they FINALLY removed the temporary levy buffer that closed the trail for the last 2-3 years.

It got pretty dark, so it was a good thing I brought my headlamp. Starting to get cold, but got away with only running in a long-sleeve T, shorts, and gloves.

3 mi wu, 3 x 800m @ VO2max w/ 400m recovery, 1.5 mi cd

To Bradley Lake, then up the hill to Ferucci Jr. High Track, intervals, back home.

800's were run in 3 minutes. Mud from the track stuck to my shoes like crazy!
