Quick Update

[PICK3]

I think you are right, every year I seem to be hovering between 190-199K. Been some good years though that's for sure.

I've been hovering around "poor ass ngr bish"

Would you say you were a Sudra or an outcast?

hell yeah. That passion was rekindled like my love for pick3. I was a competitive (read: middle of the pack) runner in high school. Dropped that when I went to college (would have been back of the pack there).. tried my hand at lifting heavy, swelled up to 213lbs and couldn't run fast anymore. (full disclosure I did return to running for one year in 2001, but then I found EF in 2002 and made lifting a priority).

Over the last three years I've competed in over 30 races. I can now routinely place within my age group (I am 38 next month) and I even can win my age group sometimes (In San Diego that is a feat because people are born fit here). I set my half marathon PR last month at 1:30:55 and look forward to breaking the 90 minute barrier there. Completed my first full marathon in 2014 (3:44:41) with no near term plans to do another. I'm also racing other distances between 5K and half marathon. I have a 5K this weekend actually to benefit Pacific Beach schools, anyone local should join me. I hope to break 19:00 in the 5K sometime this year (PR last year was 19:05).
