Since 12/16/2008
 Jared Brown
My freshman year of college I weighed over 250 pounds. I started going to the gym as part of a bet I made to lose weight with my roommate (which I won, but never tried to or intend on trying to collect). That summer I used the elliptical a lot, and it was not until my Junior/Senior year that I actually started running (with the help of other roommates!). I have been off/on (mostly off) running now since 2006... and ran my first race during the spring of my 1L year of law school (April 2008). In 2009, I decided that my goal would be to run a half marathon.... and I also want to run a 5K in 24 minutes or less!

WD YDT (What did you do today?) |

I had to sit out for a few weeks b/c of some knee issues, but I was back out there running today. I was supposed to run 9 miles, which would've been better than my 7 mile personal best; however, I was only able to run 7.5. My legs just weren't strong enough to continue, and I didn't have the mental toughness to push through today. As soon as I stopped running though I was breathing at a normal rate, and was not out of breath. I was a little discouraged, but I'm ambitious in all aspects of life!

Should have come to the gym yesterday. Aside from a fire alarm that kept us out in the rain, I ran 4mi. We're going to have to extend our distance.

This was a "B" Race for me.
I rated my performance a 3 out of 5.
Race Notes: I had been having some knee problems for the few weeks before this race. I ran the first mile in 8:34, but slowed down tremendously in my second mile. I finished strong, and ran the whole time, but I could have done better. Overall, this race went decently; however, I should be able to run a 4-miler in 35 minutes or less. (side note: they had cool tshirts)

This was a "B" Race for me.
I rated my performance a 4 out of 5.
Race Notes: I ran this race with Randy, and I hadn't been out running in three weeks before this race... so I'd say this was a success!!! First, I'd like to note that Randy broke one hour, and finally beat me in a race. I was extremely happy for him. Second, I ran the whole time, which may be a personal record for me in total distance. Even though I did not prepare for this race, it was a "B" race for me, because it was the first day of training for my half-marathon. Overall, I thought I did well, but probably should have broken an hour. I never took my push, because I did not want to risk injury after not running for three weeks... Last note, Ann Arbor knows how to host a race... Very well put together!

This was a "C" Race for me.
I rated my performance a 1 out of 5.
Race Notes: Randy and I ran this race last minute... I didn't feel good about the race, and it wasn't really an important race to me. I finished though, and I guess that's what counts. I did however learn that when wind is blowing right in your face it is not a motivating factor!

This was a "B" Race for me.
I rated my performance a 4 out of 5.
Race Notes: I had a stomach ache before the race, and almost had to stop after a little over a mile. However, I felt pretty good towards the last mile, and was able to pick up the pace. If I would have known my time, I would have made an extra push to break 25! Overall, I felt a lot better running this course then I did last year at this time!!!
