Goal Type:

Boston Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

I ran my first two marathons in 2015:

• A very heat-stressed LA in March at 3:41
• Ojai on short rest in May at 3:21

My half-marathon PR is 1:28:56, at Revel Canyon in November 2014.

Short-Term Running Goals:

My goal, like many, is to qualify for Boston. I grew up in Boston and did all of my education there. Until September, my BQ is 3:15. For 2017, I'll move up another age rung to 3:25.

I'm registered for Chicago in October, so hopefully I can repeat that 3:21 there for the BQ.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I'm hoping that, despite my age, I may yet have a sub 3:00 marathon in me, and a low 1:20 half.

Personal:

Ran track in college as a sprinter (200m, 400m). Was reasonable successful at a Division III school. That's eons ago however.
