Goal Type:

Boston Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

I have run two Portland Marathons (2004, 2005) with finishing times of 4:09 and 3:27. I didn't get the chance to run in 2006, but I am shooting for a 3:10 this year to qualify for Boston. I have also done triathlons, finishing the Pacific Crest Half Iron Man in 2005.

Short-Term Running Goals:

My goal this year is to qualify and run Boston in 2008. I hope that Portland will be my qualifying marathon. I am also going to run a few smaller races for fun and training, like the Haulin' Aspen Trail Marathon this August in Bend.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Don't really know. I could see an attempt at ultras, but I don't know if I could persist for that long. We will see what my outlook is after this and next year.

Felt good today and just went out and ran. Not really pushing it, but pace was around 7:30.

Felt a little slow, but I also took it easy. Been doing a lot of school work.

I don't know if they are exactly "marathon pace miles;" they were done at the pace of my previous marathon PR, but I am shooting for a pace of 7:15 for BQ. I still do not have my "marathon legs." This is a lead up to an 18 week program, so I am not real worried. I have yet to do any real speed work either. Anyway, did 12 miles right around 8 minutes or so. Felt alright, but my legs were tired at the end.
