| Location: St. George,UT,AmericaUSAEarth Member Since: Jun 13, 2008 Gender: Male Goal Type: Other Short-Term Running Goals: St. G marathon w/ my good friend Mike. Long-Term Running Goals: not to run any more marathons. Personal: Yes, I am a Virginia Tech Hokie. I pretty much live and die with VT football, so hide the pups indoors this fall if the season goes south.
I grew up in NJ, competed in middle school XC, was primarily a 400m sprinter (& XC) in h.s., and an 800/400m mid-distance runner at Virginia Tech. Graduated VT with an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, and currently am involved with the youth.
This blog is dedicated to my family and friends. I have 2 (er 3, sorry Tambo!) wonderful sisters and 2 very supportive parents. Kim is a Graphic Designer in D.C., and at one time rode and trained horses; Melissa is an English Lit teacher at an all-girls h.s. in NJ, in addition to being the XC/track coach. She really likes comma splices. Tammy is an Elementary Teacher and a crazy good soccer/basketball athlete, lives across the block from my parents, and is very funny. All 3 have run at least one marathon. I believe Tambo has run more marathons than I have. I am ok with that. I am very proud of them all. Oh yeah, also 2 screwball huskies, Apollo and Zeus.

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the fastest lion, or it will be killed.

It doesn't matter if you are a lion or if you are a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running. |

19 miles, on the renowned ski jump that is the St. George marathon course. Encouraging run today, maybe the micro-fracture is in the past. Ran w/ Mike Schramm (Stacy & Bill also in the mix). First 15.5 miles flew by (~7:08 ave), just talking and enjoying the morning. Then 2 miles at 5:55 & 5:53 (~MP along that particular segment of the course), and a quick 5:20 last mile. Legs feeling good this evening, we'll see tomorrow. Probably the calm before the storm.
80+ miles this week, and more miles at MP or LT pace during next weekend's long run. | | Comments(6) |
| | 14.5 miles in the evening, on and over and around the matrix of paths between Bloomington and Bloomington Hills. Body/legs were feeling a bit depleted, but held a steady effort (~7:05-7:15). Probably faster than I should've been running. | | Comments(1) |

| | 10 miles. Another friendly local neighborhood hill festival. 8 miles at ~marathon pace effort, though I don't know how fast I was truly running. Just hard effort. | | Comments(4) |

Good run with Logan, Aaron, & Kamm this evening. Aaron and I branched-off a little later on the 10-mile loop, then got *cough* LOST in Santa Clara. I never thought I'd make it out alive. | | Add Comment |

Good long run today with great company. 18.2 miles down the SGM course with Logan and Dave (also rode-up to the start in style with the Wildbull and Dustin!). The first 12 miles coming down were very relaxed and conversational (~7:34 ave), then an up-tempo final 6. I believe the first 2 of the tempo were ~5:55-6:00, and the last 4 ~5:45 down to 5:35.
Very positive run today. Gradually the confidence is flowing back. I really enjoyed the time with Logan and Dave today too. | | Comments(3) |
