Gender:

Male

Goal Type:

Boston Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

My first attempt at long distance as an adult.

Kirkuk, Iraq Half Marathon- 1:48:?? forgot seconds.

Short-Term Running Goals:

I will be entering the Eisenhower Marathon in Abilene, KS. This will be my first marathon and I'm pretty ambitious. I want to qualify for Boston.

I want to run 3:05 for Eisenhower, but ultimately want run sub 3:00 by the end of 2011.

Long-Term Running Goals:

As far as long term goals I would like just to stay healthy and injury free....and fast!

Qualify for the Iron Man Tri in Kona and finish in spectacular fashion!

Personal:

I'm currently in the Army and I love that I'm faster than all my Soldiers (who are a lot younger than me). It just seems the older I get the faster I am.

I'm deployed, but I should be back in the states pretty soon.

Being in the Army definitely puts a toll on family and unfortunately I'm divorced, but I have a beautiful daughter who melts my heart.

AM-PT started again and I was in charge of the "fast group". So myself and two other Soldiers ran around the airfield smoking the rest of the Troop. We looked like heroes when the rest of the Troop was cooling down (probably there for 15 mins cuz they did only did 2 miles) as we just showed up out of the cold night.

 5.01 miles 40:50.84, AP 08:09, splits 08:38, 08:38, 08:10, 07:42, 07:33

PM-Today was also my interval day. Goal was to run 6x1600 with a 400 meter jog/rest between sets at 10 seconds faster than MP. After the 5th 1600 and 400 m I just could not go anymore. My calves started becoming real sore and just couldn't put them through that pain. I also started having some discomfort on the outside of my right big toe. I think it might be an ingrown toenail....ahhhhh...nooooo! People were on he track today, so my splits were me just showing off, maybe thats why I couldn't complete it today..too fast.....lol

SlowJoe,

the marathon went well. I finished in 3:43:10. It was tough not to mention hot. You still on here?
