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.
Bremerton Jaguars season has begun! I ran about 2 miles with two of the middle school boys on our team, around an 8/min pace, then two laps of 100m stride/jog/stride/jog.
Morning basketball, ran full court for an hour. I didn't get a run in afterward because the day was packed wire-to-wire. So a little underwhleming for mileage this week, but I did exercise five days and other than a little ankle stiffness hanging around, I feel fine.
