Goals
Beginning June 2012, I will be training for the Atlantic City Marathon 2012. The Atlantic City Marathon falls on Sunday, October 21st.
Beginning in July 2012, I will begin training for the ING New York City Marathon 2012. The NYC Marathon falls on Sunday, November 4th.
Simultaneously, I will begin training for the Philadelphia Marathon 2012. The Philadelphia Marathon falls on Sunday, November 18th.
In the Philadelphia Marathon 2011, I qualified for the Boston Marathon 2013. I may also begin training for the Boston Marathon 2013 in late 2012.
I have no projected finish time for the Atlantic City Marathon. My projected finish time for the NYC Marathon is 3:10. The projected finish time for the Philadelphia Marathon is 3:05.
My blog updates for now4/1/12 consist of occasional races and running experience. Stay tuned! NOTE: In an effort to focus more on training, I have decided to not really blog my training. However, I plan on continuing to blog about my races and general news related to my running.
PRs
A “PR” is runner-ese for “personal record.” For some people, running is about competing with one’s past accomplishments. While that’s not always my goal, sometimes it is. Below are some of my PRs.
