I'm moving my blog from blogger to fastrunningblog. Back in 1997-2000 I lived in Provo and trained with Sasha. Now I am living in Chicago finishing my residency training in radiology. I have been blogging for over 2 years. Sasha tried to convert me to this site long ago. I declined. Now I am ready to make the move.

I might give the longer version later, but here is the short running version. I worked down to a 2:39:46 marathon in 1999. In 2000 I unwisely took 4 years off from running during medical school. Started back up about 3 years ago. Ran a 2:42 marathon in Chicago last year and just recently managed to barely survive the infamous 2007 Chicago Marathon. If you are interested you can read about it here.

Dallen:

What a surprise! You have finally been converted to the true religion of Fast Running Blog! Interestingly enough, your old blog was what gave me the inspiration to make this site - I wanted to be able to share my workouts with others just like you.

Congratulations on the baby!

Now we need to convert Matt and Ben. As you may have read already, I saw Matt yesterday. He is teaching at BYU. Ben has disappeared from the face of the earth, but I have his cell phone number and he needs to lose his big gut which he has the talent for developing, will give him a call.

Welcome to the blog! Always a treat to have another super human fast person.

I read your Chicago race report... Sounds like you had heat exhaustion/heat stroke really bad! While I admire your courage for sticking it out, I must admit that if I had been there I would have been one of those people yelling at you for turning down medical attention! So glad you're ok!

Welcome to the blog! Sounds like Chicago was rough this year! So where are you planning to practice when you graduate?

Now all we need is Ben and we'll have the good ol days back when you guys were running together. I'm sorry about you and Gloria but very happy to see you here, running, with a great job and a baby on the way with your new wife...wonderful. Good work! It will be great to be in touch with you again.

I'll have to update my feed. Good luck

Wow! I read your report. You should read mine and find out what happened behind you. Glad you survived. Welcome to the blog!

I switched the feed on Bloglines so I'm up to date again.
