Goals
Beginning in July 2012, I will likely be training for the ING New York City Marathon 2012. The NYC Marathon falls on Sunday, November 4th.
Simultaneously, I may also train for the Philadelphia Marathon 2012.
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.
Stay tuned for updates and projects finish times.
My blog updates for now11/20/11 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.

* I have run this distance faster in training and in at least the Boston Marathon (42:23), but since these weren’t official 10K races, I’ve decided not to count them in my PRs.
