Personal:
38 year old single male that works in the medical field and has just discovered (over last year or so) a love for running. I am trying to get connected with running groups in the Seattle area and would ultimately love to find that special person who loves the outdoors and running like I do.

| | Went for a nice long one today. Boy was it a georgeous afternoon. Nothing stressful...just a nice long run to clear the mind and start the week off right. | | Add Comment |
| | Probably more than three miles run, but just an estimate. Played full court hoops for 3 hours straight with a couple 5 min water breaks. I love monday night hoops as it is a nice change of pace to my usual running schedule. | | Add Comment |
| | Picked up the pace this morning on a nice 6 miler. Trying to change things up a bit and not just get into the rut of running the same course at the same pace all the time. Felt good to push the pace a little and found out that I actually still had some reserves at the finish. | | Add Comment |
| | Great mid day run today. Took it out a little slow, but quickly gained momentum and actually clocked my fastest split on the last mile. Still felt pretty fresh after the warm run in the midday sun. Heading out for a morning run tomorrow...better go get some sleep and rest up. | | Add Comment |
| | Took a great morning run today. It is absolutely georgous up here is the Pacific Northwest today. I guess this is why we suffer through the winters....lol. Averaged about 8.15 min miles. Legs are feeling stronger and stronger all the time. Will I be ready for marathon on the 27th???? At least I know I will give it my best effort. | | Add Comment |
| | Routine training run....no excitement at all. | | Add Comment |
| | Headed out late as work and kids took precedent....finished 6 miles in just under 50 minutes and pace seemed fairly comfortable. Any suggestions on what kind of pace I should set out for on the full marathon in two weeks? | | Add Comment |

Seattle Rock and Roll Marathon (26.2 Miles) 04:19:52 | | I did it! Completed my first Marathon on my first attempt in a time of 4:19:52 Had to kick to the line to bread 4:20 and the crowd seemed to love it. I couldn't believe I could even do it after running for that long. It was such a great feeling. I will blog more later about the experience....but it is now just starting to sink in that I did something I never thought I would even try and was successful. | | Comments(3) |
