Goals
Since July 2010, I have been training for the New York City Marathon 2010. The NYC Marathon falls on Sunday, November 7th.
Concurrently, I am training for the Philadelphia Marathon 2010, and the Boston Marathon 2011. In 2010, the Philly Marathon falls on Sunday, November 21st, just 14 days after the NYC Marathon. In 2011, the Boston Marathon falls on Monday, April 18th.
I am currently entered into the NYC Marathon 2010 via guaranteed entry, with an ambitious projected finish time of 2:59.
I am currently entered into the Philly Marathon 2010, with the same projected finish time of 2:59.
While I have qualified for the Boston Marathon 2011, I still have to register for the race. Registration for Boston doesn’t begin until sometime in September 2010. Check back in September for an update about the Boston Marathon.
My blog updates for now7/6/10 consist of training runs and occasional races in the gear-up to official training for the NYC Marathon 2010 and Philly Marathon 2010. Stay tuned! My goals will become more refined as I get closer to training.
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.
