Goal Type:

Boston Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

Best Post High School 5K (Nate Bruckenthal Memorial 2011): 20:28

Best half marathon (Maryland Half Marathon 2011): 1:38:02

Best 20 Miler (NCR Trail 2010): 2:34:43

First (and so far only) marathon (Baltimore 2010): 3:39:48 (nursing an overuse injury) 

Short-Term Running Goals:

I think I have a shot at qualifying for Boston if I put in the time, train for strength and speed, and avoid injury.  With the new times that may be only a distant dream.  Running is about becoming a better person and not just qualifying for Boston.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running as a part of my fitness routine after I do 4 or 5 marathons

Personal:

Married with 3 boys

College professor by day (and night a lot of times) 

My best event was the mile in high school (two decades+ ago)

Blogged about the spiritual nature of my first marathon (http://p-s-wellbeing.blogspot.com) 

Wrote a book called The Radical Transformation of Runner 1313--all profits go to charity

While I ate a bunch yesterday after I ran 14, I didn't every feel voraciously hungry.  Today, I made up for that.  That was a huge breakfast!  The rest of the day was good and the pomegranate wine was fun.  The 3.1 miles this time were mostly flat, and the 14 miles yesterday were "easy" so I was able to do the 3.1 in an 8:17 average pace.
