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.

I stayed in Seattle Saturday night and woke up to a pretty good snowstorm -- so I passed on a recovery run -- but Bremerton was untouched and this morning Mike and I hit the road for a long run. Met at Evergreen Park, went out to Tracyton Dock and back on the Stephenson Trail and then across the Manette Bridge. Added a loop through downtown to get over 10 miles. In the low 30s, but we had dry footing and ran a pretty good clip. The first half of the run was at 7/min. pace according to Garmin, then we backed off some but still finished pretty strong. 1:20:15

I've got a little foot pain on the right, the big toe's metatarsal bone is kind of sore when I step or lift that toe. It's more annoying that truly painful, and I don't feel it with every step. Seems like I've had this before, so I'll wear loose shoes to keep the pressure off during the day (tight shoes seemed to bother it yesterday), and hope for the best.

Prevention is sure better than injury.

Indeed. I'll sacrifice January and cram for Chuckanut in February if I have to.
