Running Accomplishments:

Boston Marathon 2009 = 3:07

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 5 miles on my standard waterfront route with group from work. Unfortunately I had to wear shoes because my five fingers won't arrive until tomorrow (REI here was sold out - very popular in Seattle right now)

5.0 miles: Ran my usual waterfront route at lunchtime. Nice easy pace. Felt great except for pain in my right arch which has been bothering me on and off for a ling time.

2.0 miles: When I got home from work my Vibram Five Fingers had arrived so I went on another run to test them out (I didn't have time to go out until about 10:00 pm). It felt great. I felt like a ninja.

I took off this morning in my five fingers with the goal of doing a 5 mile out and back, but then chickened out when my calves started burning a little, and cut it short. The rest of the day they weren't that sore, so I think I could have done the full five. I love the new shoes, I feel like I run a lot smoother.
