Goal Type:

Boston Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

4 marathons - 2 Marine Corps Marathons, Maine Marathon, Paris Marathon. PR at 2007 MCM: 4:36:28.

Miscellaneous shorter races 

Spent 2009 working with a kinesiologist correcting poor running form that led to a lot of injuries (chronic ITBS, etc). Since then, have been significantly improving my pace and running has become much easier. I've been able to log a lot more miles since correcting my form.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Would like to run 2 marathons in 2010 (National Marathon and Marine Corps Marathon) and 2 in 2011 (TBD).

Would like to PR at National in March 2010, and possibly qualify for Boston at MCM 2010 or at a 2011 race.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Consistently run a minimum of 1 to 2 marathons a year well into old age.
