Personal:

My name is Vinh Nguyen. I'm 28 years old, former Marine...

Started running when I joined the military in 1999. I did not enjoy running until 2006-7 when I started training for my first marathon. In the Marines, we ran an average of 3-5 miles. I never ran any distances longer than that until I started training for the Myrtle Beach Marathon in 2007.

Currently working as a government contractor (electronics technician).

I finished my Associates of Science in August and have finally been able to train hard full time. I decided to take time of school to see how much of a difference it will make and maybe hopefully achieve my goal and qualify for Boston.

I wore my Brooks Mach 10 for the 400 m repeats. My calves are killing me. Oh and the 400 m sprints were uphill slightly. Good workout but I'll probably be paying for it tomorrow! I'm also wondering if these 400m times are any good? I never ran track or anything and I know I shouldn't compare it to a single all out 400m run, but I'm just curious...
