Member Since: Nov 01, 2010 Gender: Male 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 |
