Michael Collins

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Arlington, Virginia, USA

My name is Mike.

I live and work in Arlington.

I ran in high school (Oakton). I was decent.

I almost ran in college, but instead gave my legs seven years of rest.

In 2007 I began running again by training for the Chicago Half Marathon.

In 2008 my pinnacle race was the Marine Corps Marathon, in which I blew up completely.

In 2009 I had a great Cherry Blossom 10-Miler and PR'd in the San Fran Marathon. The year was greatly affected and cut short by a number of injuries.

San Francisco Marathon 2009: Run/Marathon

Sunday, 07/26/2009 — San Francisco, CA

This was a "A" Race for me.

I rated my performance a 4 out of 5.

Race Notes: Hills were harder than was expecting, but overall decent race. Perhaps I could have held a better pace (I didn't die) if I was able to get with my pace group? Race organization was pretty poor. Fought injuries throughout training.

4Th Annual Parks Half-Marathon 2009: Run Half Marathon

Sunday, 09/13/2009 — Rockville, MD

This was a "B" Race for me.

I rated my performance a 1 out of 5.

Race Notes: Should not have run this; hadn't run for a few weeks preceding, and was unable to run for two months following. Was on 1:29 pace through 9 before the pain became too much. Was actually a 1:33:53 (stopped to stretch).

San Francisco Marathon 2009: Run- Marathon

Sunday, 07/26/2009 — San Francisco, CA

This was a "A" Race for me.

I rated my performance a 3 out of 5.

Race Notes: Way more hilly than expected. Didn't die, but just wasn't fast enough to hit my goal of BQ. Still confident I have it in me on a flatter/faster course. Can also cut off a good minute because I jogged the last mile in; had finally admitted to myself that I wasn't going to do it.

DCRRC Hugh Jascourt Memorial 4 Mile: Run-4Miles

Saturday, 06/20/2009 — Washington, DC

This was a "B" Race for me.

I rated my performance a 2 out of 5.

Race Notes: Just another trained-through race. Was hoping for sub-25 and had it through the half, but the heat caught up to me and I closed in 12:59. Oh well... I really shouldn't have run as my hip had really been bothering me. I was pretty much unable to walk afterward (couldn't cool down) and had to take a week off to hopefully heal up.
