Short-Term Running Goals:

Get in killer shape. Train in the winter and run some spring 1/2 marathons before the Ragnar Relay races.

Personal:

I've been running for most of my life. I ran track in college and got into long distance running a few years ago. I did my first marathon at L.A. in 2006.

I work full time as a race director for the Ragnar Relay team. We put on the Wasatch Back Relay, along with 3 other races each year in Minnesota, Washington, and Arizona. It's a challenging job- especially in the summer when so much travel is required.

Craig, my long-time training partner, has been trying to get me to join this site for a while. He keeps talking about Sasha, the "running prophet". So here I am.

I'm married (Trevor) and have a 3 year old boy (Jackson).

Ran four miles today.  Not feeling well, some sort of head cold, sore throat and just all around yuck.  I have a 10 mile run tomorrow with a group, I hope I don't feel worse tomorrow.

My goal this year is to run 3:20 at the San Diego Rock-n-Roll Marathon (June 1st).  Not sure if I have enough time from now until then to make that sort of improvement.  Also, in looking at my half marathon times (1:37) versus other runner's half marathon times, it seems I should be running my marathons faster than 3:40.

Don't bow out on me tomorrow! I'm not about to do a loco run in the miserable wet/cold without some entertainment.

Yes, you are capable of 3:20. I think your training in the past has been good, but the weekly mileage has been too short for the marathon.

I didn't know you actually wanted to run San Diego for time. I would be interested to see what kind of course it is. It's the Rock-n-Roll marathon, but some runners must still run it for time.

How is your training coming along?
