| 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: |

| 34:02 (7:28/mi) Brad Lk x 2 1 mi w/u @ 8:02, last 3.5 mi @MP (about 7:12/mi) Felt good. I had to hold back to keep MP from dropping below 7:00/mi. Still uncertain what my goal time should be. |

| ZERO Drove to Portland today and worked out the logistics of taking the train to the start line. Then went to the Marathon Expo. Jodi doesn't like crowds, so she went shopping. At the expo, I got to listen to an elderly, experienced, British runner give a detailed description of the course. He wore an old cotton sweatshirt with sewn-on patches from each marathon that he has run (about 75 of them). He went into detail of the area of the course that has been my Portland Curse. It's a downhill portion that curves to the left, but is slanted to the right. He calls it an "adverse cambor". I met some of the Red Lizard Running Team Pacers and picked up a 3:10 pace band. My plan is to hang behind the 3:10 pace group and fall back if the pace feels too brisk. | |
