Goal Type:

Boston Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

Best Post High School 5K (Nate Bruckenthal Memorial 2011): 20:28

Best half marathon (Maryland Half Marathon 2011): 1:38:02

Best 20 Miler (NCR Trail 2010): 2:34:43

First (and so far only) marathon (Baltimore 2010): 3:39:48 (nursing an overuse injury) 

Short-Term Running Goals:

I think I have a shot at qualifying for Boston if I put in the time, train for strength and speed, and avoid injury.  With the new times that may be only a distant dream.  Running is about becoming a better person and not just qualifying for Boston.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running as a part of my fitness routine after I do 4 or 5 marathons

Personal:

Married with 3 boys

College professor by day (and night a lot of times) 

My best event was the mile in high school (two decades+ ago)

Blogged about the spiritual nature of my first marathon (http://p-s-wellbeing.blogspot.com) 

Wrote a book called The Radical Transformation of Runner 1313--all profits go to charity
