| 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: |

| 1:00:55 (8:51/mi) Ran around Bradley Lake, up to Pierce College, back around the lake, back home. I wanted to go longer, but I needed to get home in time for breakfast with the family. Also, my current goal is to maintain a base of 40 mile weeks. The best way to do that is to run easy so I don't get overtired or injured. Once I get a solid base, then my training will get more interesting.
Feel a little soreness in my ankles / lower legs, and in my arms. The arm soreness is from assembling a big toy in my backyard on Friday. I think the ankle soreness is from the hilly 12 miler. There were some steep downhill sections where I had to hop fallen tree limbs at a fast speed that felt hard on the ankles.

| 38:43 (8:29/mi) Brad Lk x 2 Woke up 1/2 hour late this AM. I almost didn't run, but then I convinced myself that there was at least enough time to run 2 miles before I had to leave for the office. I ended up doing my standard 4 1/2 miler. Great run!

| 58:23 (8:12/mi) Ran in Manorwood, Ferrucci Jr High, and Pierce College. Had to deliver the registration form for the Tacoma Rainiers Baseball Scout Night to Chris (in Manorwood) before he left for work. I'm finally under 190 lbs! 190 is my unacceptable weight limit. Now it's time to lose another 10-15 lbs for a fall marathon.

1:52:35 (9:33/mi) Very hilly 11 1/2 mile run. Ran as high as Pierce College (540') and as low as downtown Puyallup valley (30-40'), with lots of ups and downs in-between. The trail system in Clarks Creek Park is amazing; it rivals Pt. Defiance Park in many ways. Pretty muddy though. Even though I'm trying to do all E pace runs right now, the hills obviously increased the intensity. I'm sure I was hovering near HRmax on the steep portions and was at threshold intensity for the more moderate uphills.
