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.

Biked with my fiancee and her triathlon team. We biked up to McKenzie Pass, just west of Sisters, OR. It was a great ride and climb. About 1:45, 1:15 going up, 0:30 coming down.
Did 8 miles around a 8:00-8:15 pace. My shins are still a little sore. I also did some strides (does anyone know if that is supposed to be striding to full sprint speed or to marathon pace?).
Ran again about 8:00 pace. My legs are tired towards the end of these runs and my pace falters. My shins hurt toward the beginning of runs and then the pain resolves while running. I am trying to stretch and ice after runs to help alleviate the pain.
