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.)

To Brad Lk and back. I'm writing this retroactively, but I think my knee was tweeking (IT band). So, I turned around and went back home as soon as I felt the tweek.
