No marathon yet- planning on Akron in 2010. Longest race is a 10k in 56 min which beat my goal time of one hour. Building my base now that I didn’t have then. 20 mpw now and starting next week I increase that onward and upwards. Planning on two HM in 2009

My first marathon was Marine Corps in 2004. I had horrible IT Band problems all summer. I was feeling pain at mile 5 but managed to finish in 5:51. It was horrible, but I was going to earn that medal if I had to crawl across the finish line! It almost came to that!

CONGRATULATIONS, Greg! Enjoy your movie!

What was your time in either your first or your most recent Marathon?
3:30:36 (gun time) and 3:28:47 (net time) Portland Marathon Relay – No complete Marathon on my own yet, but this was my first Marathon Relay.

Now, I am not sure you count Marathon Relay as a Marathon, so I am also answering the subsidiary question:

If you haven’t run a Marathon, then what was the time you ran for your last race and how far was it?
My last race on my own was a 5K, and my time was 25:08 minutes (not a PR…)

I ran the Yarmouth 5k Pumpkin Run in 29:49 on Saturday. A PR for me! My 10-year-old daughter ran it in 26:28. I never saw her once, she was so far ahead of me.

No marathon yet, but my last race was 38:58 for 5 miles (www.ausherman5miles.com) on Aug 9th. I was pleasantly surprised with a pace about 15 seconds per mile faster than I thought I could do.

Hi Blaine,

I have not run a marathon yet, though I am training for one in the spring. My most recent race was a 5k that I finished in 20:59, a new PR. I was shooting for sub-21, and I just barely made it.

Hi Blaine,

Last marathon was 3:42 for a trail/XC course. An improvement of 38 mins on the same race last year. Next year I WILL run under 3hrs on the road… maybe.

I ran my first 10K at the WWFOR and completed it in 1 hour and 6 minutes. I charted my own course and was pleased with my time and run! I love getting your running tips and appreciate your contest!
Thanks!
