Other accomplishments: 2 time Cross Country All-Conference in the MWC Conference (Division 3), London Colleges League Cross Country Champion, Bronze Medalist at the 2004 Middlesex County Championships (this would be like having State level Cross Country Championships in the U.S.), All-England at the 2004 BUSA Championships in the 10,000 (sneaking in for 8th place--much less impressive than it sounds), and various road race wins in the St. Louis area including: U-City Memorial Day Run (2002-10K, 2007-5K), Zoo Run 5K (2002, 2004), St. Charles Community College 10K (2003), Flat Five (2002, 2003), Firecracker 5K (2003), Webster Homecoming 5K (2006), Glendale Firehouse 2 mile (2001), and others.... Short-Term Running Goals: On my way back. Injuries and law school have taken their toll, but things are great now. I've been logging mileage trying to build back to the 90s-100s. No specific race goals right now, but I'm trying to race more. I will re-examine in Spring. Long-Term Running Goals: Sub-2:30 Marathon. Personal: I am currently attending Law School at St. Louis University--in my last semester. I am not married, but dating a wonderful girl named Michelle. I love playing piano and acting--in musicals.

5 easy AM---felt very sluggish
9 PM w/ 10 x 90 sec @ approx 10 mile race pace...2 min recovery jog.
Again, I felt very sluggish. A bit of IT band pain.
Tough week. Big final paper due for my legal research class, Michelle is back in town and I want to spend time with her, and my play was performed this weekend. Still didn't miss a run though, so I'm pleased with it all. Now I need to stop wasting time posting here and finish my paper. | | Add Comment |

Easy 3 mile warm-up. Felt ok.
Race stated late due to bad course management (3 milers finishing where 6 milers were starting)
Course was fairly tough with 3 significant uphills, and rolling hills for most of the rest of the way, and the wind was fairly tough--especially in the last mile and a half which were directly into the wind.
First mile was at 5:15 and I was in about 6th--I was in about 10th at the 3/4 mile mark.
Second mile was 5:15 also and I was in 3rd.
Third mile was 5:20 and I was in 2nd.
I did not get the mile splits on the last 3 miles because my hands were too cold to operate the watch, but I know the 4th and 6th miles were slower due to the course.
Winner was in about 31:00.
2 mile cool-down.
Right leg was tight and had a bit of pain in the IT band and this morning I'm still feeling it. Will probably get out later today for an easy run.

Injured knee. At Michelle's house and heard a rather loud pop in the knee area. At first, the knee felt good and even loose, but as the night went on, it became extremely painful--so much so that I was leaning on Michelle while walking. Anyway, I went to the doctor on Saturday (I go to church with an ortho) and he surmised that I probably slid the knee cap out of "place" The prognosis was no running until after finals (which is when I needed to run the most).
Anyway, here I am two weeks later and finals are done. Knee is feeling better. Calves are a bit sore, but I can get through that. | | Add Comment |
