I was an 800/1500 runner in high school and college, with PRs of 1:55 and 4:08. I've run as fast as 16:15 for 5k and 1:20 for a half, but my bests in recent years are 17:07 5k (Dec. '11), 37:40 10k (Jan. '12), 1:23:49 half (Sept. '08), 2:53:12 marathon (September '10), and 4:45:06 50k (March '10).
Short-Term Running Goals:
Late 2015/2016 races:
— Seattle Soltice 10k (Dec. 19)
— Nookachamps half marathon (Jan. 16)
— Toyko Marathon (Feb. 28)
Personal:
I'm an editor at a newspaper in Bremerton, Washington and head coach of the Bremerton Jaguars youth track and field team.
David-- Better yet, I'm just across Rich Passage on Bainbridge. Planning to do the Rhody in P.T., but would be glad to hook up before then if you like (though if you're doing a 36min 5k I fear I'll be in your rearview mirror in pretty short order!). I do my long runs on Sunday. Drop a line: ashakow@gmail.

Dave - very good training this week. Aaron - if you run comfortably at 7:30 pace, 36 minute 10 K is quite well within your reach. You can pick it up quite a bit once you are willing to let go of the comfort. If you guys hook up, I believe this would be the first time two runners outside of Utah became training partners via the Fast Running Blog. Take advantage of your chance to make history.

hey, whatever records I can add to my running resume I'll take.
next weekend may be historically auspicious on my end.
