Goals & PRs

I have canceled my entry into the NYC Marathon 2013. I will not be running any marathons in 2013.


My projected finish time for the NYC Marathon is 3:10.
My blog updates for now5/19/13 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 American 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.
