Hi, 

I'm hoping for a personal best marathon time in New York on November 1, 2009 and will be updating my training here as I go.

My training is based heavily on Hal Higdon's Intermediate II and Advanced I marathon training schedules (I will likely stray from it slightly and make updates as I go).  

Many thanks to Hal for the wealth of information made public on his website: HalHigdon.com

River City 1/2 Marathon - 4/19/2009

Up next... http://www.rivercitymarathon.com/

The Shamrock'n Half was great, here's a little race report.

Here's my training plan for the River City Run

Shamrock'n Half Marathon on Sunday!

I can't wait to run the Shamrock'n Half this Sunday.  I'm aiming to finish in ~1:45:xx, giving me a fair chance of puking.

(This post was inspired by Michelle's awesome "Loomis Living" blog, which makes my obviously lame blog site look lame.)

We'll see

I might start posting my training log and race updates here. We will see.
