Ran 4 marathons in my early 20's from '78-81 (the original Orange County Marathon). Qualified for Boston with a 2:49 but school schedule kept me from going. I did quite a few Olympic distance triathlons in the mid-80's and then mainly road and mountain biking with some recreational running. Decided to get back in marathon shape at age 49 and qualify for Boston. Qualified at SD RnR in 07 and then ran the 112th Boston Marathon in '08 with a 2:46. Also ran a 2:46 at the Twin Cities Marathon in '08 for the USAT&F Master Marathon Championship and won my age group.
Had a great April '09 with win at Carlsbad 5000 and at the Boston Marathon.
Passed my training as a RRCA certified coach and helping other with their goals. Visit www.runyourpotential.com to learn more.
