Fundraising

I'll be running the Chicago Marathon on behalf of Girls on the Run. Please check out my fundraising page here!

Training Totals and super brief update
June 375 miles
July 378 miles

The mileage is good. The pace isn't generally so hot. We'll see how I'm feeling when the race gets here. Its 10 weeks from tomorrow.

I ran a half marathon this past Sunday (results here) and finished 4th, one spot behind Bryce Burgess. I went off course twice due to terrible course marshaling. Ran through a ravine and my leg was cut to shreds at mile 8. Hopefully I've got a lot more speed than that time indicates.

Life Update
Hello:

May Training Wrap

The month of May and the very beginning of June served as a mini-base period of training for the Chicago Marathon on 10/10/10. It was the second rainiest May ever recorded in Portland. Almost all of my runs were done at a relaxed pace. The last week culminated with a 104 mile effort. The very last run was a 19 miler with Stan that included several sessions of Marathon and Tempo pace around Duniway track and on Terwilliger Hill.

The beginning of phase two has been marred with a shin injury that I'm monitoring closely.

Loving Portland, Missing Mammoth

I am much happier living in Portland, but I certainly miss the actual running Mammoth.
