None to speak of. Used to race road bikes - racing as a Cat 3 middle-of-the-pack rider. Have been a social runner for 10+ years and have run over a twenty marathons including DesNews, Salt Lake City, St George, and Las Vegas. Neighborhood running group is very consistent and have spent many fun times and good miles with group.
Short-Term Running Goals:
Goal is to run under 3:20 hours for a marathon and in the process qualify for Boston. My qualifying time for Boston is 3:30
Personal:
Married, 5 kids. Have 3 soccer stars in family -- my two oldest girls and their little brother
Normal Thursday route + 2 miles before the group. I ran the first two at about a 7:20 pace to catch up with group HRM read 165bpm for first 2 miles, 140-150bpm for easy 5 miles. Hill sections HRM was at 181 bpm.
Good run with Larry Kent and Paul from Trefoil up South Fork to Branbury Park. Felt pretty tired at first but finished feeling good with about a 6:45 pace for last 2 miles.
HRM read 170-181bpm for much of the run. Seemed a bit high for the pace we ran. It did seem consistent with the effort though. I was dragging for the first half.
