Running Accomplishments:

St George Marathon 2008 = 3:05

Boston Marathon 2009 = 3:07

Seattle Rock and Roll Marathon 2010 = 3:07 (in Five Fingers Bikilas)

1500 meters this summer = 4:36

Ran 30 miles on my 30th birthday (Feb 7 2010)

Short-Term Running Goals:

Break 3 hours in the marathon

Run a trail ultra

 Find a way to run high mileage without injuring myself. My current theory is that transitioning out of my super-cushioned shoes into more minimalist shoes or bare feet will help improve my form and make this possible.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run a 100 mile race.

Personal:

I am happily married to Jenni. We have three energetic little boys who also enjoy to run. Jenni and I are both going to try learning how to run without shoes this year.

Ran for about two hours after work and ended at a Volunteer park. It was a beautiful evening. We had a picnic dinned and watched Shakespeare in the Park, a local outdoor theater production. All in all, a great evening.

Today I ran up (and down) Mt Si with my brother in law, AJ. This is a popular Seattle area hike with 3000 ft elevation gain in the 4 miles. It was quite a workout. And it was my first really rocky run in the five fingers bikilas. They worked great on the way up, and for the first two miles of the way down. Then my feet got sick of being poked by sharp rocks.
