Seven marathons and counting
Some of my proudest accomplishments in life have come from running. I've completed seven marathons, a race that measures 26 miles, 385 yards.
I ran my first in Austin, Texas in Febuary 2009 accepting a challenge from a friend. I was hooked from there. I've raced in seven states and ran my best time in Philadelphia in November 2010 with a mark of 2 hours, 59 mintues, 50 seconds. I also run a number of shorter distance road races. My personal records in the 5 kilometer and 10 kilometer distances are 18:30 and 40:00 respectively. I finished the famed Chicago Martahon in 2009 in a time of 3 hours, 30 minutes. In the process, I raised $1,100 for the American Cancer Society, a feat I am proud to claim. I finished the famed Boston Marathon in April 2012 in brutal conditions with the high temperature in the upper 80s for the day. |
