| 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: |

| 42:02 (8:44/mi) Bradley Lk run x2. I was looking up at the clouds, thinking, "these clouds look like they have the potential to rain", but the weather report was for 75 deg. mostly sunny skies. Then, it rained, but only for a couple of minutes. I lost track of how many laps I did around the lake and started to head home... I ended up turning around to do my second lap. |

| 38:40 (8:29/mi) Brad Lk x2 Noticed some really nice sweet flower scents on my run to the lake. Then I got to smell the skunk cabbage at the lake. Had to hold back from the desire to surge several times. My legs are ready for a tempo run! |

Brad Lk x4 Wow! I can actually get a 6 miler in before work, and I don't have to wear a headlamp, gloves, pants, or a jacket! Seems like it's been forever since we had reasonable weather.

| 1:52:19 (9:20/mi) After living in Puyallup for 10 years, I actually found 2 new trails near my home! Combined with the community garden trails and the vast network of Clark's Creek Park trails, I had a great trail run! Elevation went from 400' (home) to 15' (Puyallup valley) to 350' (up the trails) to 15' (to Puyallup valley via Clarks Creek Park) to 350' (back up the trails for another loop) to 15' (Puyallup valley) to 400' (home). Some of the trails were overgrown, muddy, steep, or covered with debris from the winter... GREAT RUN!

| 39:24 (8:04/mi) Ran to the UPS Store to deliver a business document. Because of that run, I didn't have to drive a car all day long. Mowed the lawn afterwards. This is my first 40 mile week of the year! My plan is to stay at this mileage and continue to run at an easy intensity for the next few weeks. Once the base is established, I'll decide if I should bump up the mileage again, or introduce some speed.
