| Location: St. George,UT,AmericaUSAEarth 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.
Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the slowest gazelle, or it will starve to death.
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. |

Mon, Aug 04, 2008 | | Total Distance | | 16.00 | 16 miles this evening w/ the 4 horsemen Logan, Dave, Clyde, and Aaron. 4 warm-up, 8 Tinman, 4 warm-down. My Tinman pace is about 6:30-6:35, though today I did the 8 miles in 50:34 (6:19) - a little too fast and it felt a little strained. It rained frequently which made for a refreshing run and also made for soggy shoes and socks. The frogs sure seemed to enjoy it, venturing into the path. No casualties to report. Anyway by the end of the 16 miles I was pretty depleted - a decent workout, legs aren't sore or tight, just tired. | | Comments(7) |

Sun, Aug 03, 2008 | | Total Distance | | 11.00 | 11 miles, kinda beat. The lower legs/shins and feet(!) are fatigued from yesterday's downhill tempo on the pavement. Today around midday (hot) I hopped on the new track at Dixie High and hit ~7:35's for 7 miles, stopped for water, then 8:30's the next 3 miles, then 7:46 last mile because the novelty of 8:30-land was no longer novel. | | Comments(5) |
