My Marine Corps Marathon Experience – Post Race

By on Thursday, November 1st, 2007 | 4 Comments

I felt pretty strong in the last few hundred yards. I waved for the crowd, got them pumped up when my name was announced over the intercom, and hammed it up as I sprinted in. And by sprinting in, I mean picking up the pace a little bit over what I had been running. It [...]

My Marine Corps Marathon Experience – The Race

By on Wednesday, October 31st, 2007 | 5 Comments

I was about 4 people away from the starting line when the gun went off. It took all of about 1 second for me to cross over the line. My goal was to run between 2:40:00 and 2:45:00, and I was hoping to be at 2:45:00 pace halfway through and then run negative splits. Any [...]

My Marine Corps Marathon Experience – Pre-Race

By on Tuesday, October 30th, 2007 | No Comments

I am not a big fan of traveling, and getting down to Virginia this past weekend has not made me a fan of it. The only flight that was on time was the one that left Portland for JFK. I’ll leave it at that. When we arrived in DC, it was raining pretty hard. We [...]

This week last year was dominated once again by thoughts of the marathon, but this time I wrote my series on marathon preparation.

Last night I only got a bit over a mile in for a run because one of my socks broke; it kept falling into my shoe under my heel. This is disappointing since it was one of my favorite pairs of socks; oh well, that’s what I get for keeping them around for a good [...]

Preparing for the Marine Corps Marathon

By on Wednesday, October 24th, 2007 | 6 Comments

It is only a few days before I leave for the Virginia/Washington D.C. area to run the Marine Corps Marathon. I have started thinking about my race strategies and what I hope to accomplish. The race’s website, though, leaves a bit to be desired. Their course map is atrocious. It is really neat in terms [...]

Should I run an ultramarathon before the Marine Corps Marathon?

By on Tuesday, July 17th, 2007 | 5 Comments

I have decided that I want to run two marathons this Autumn, and I am already committed to running the Marine Corps Marathon. I found out about a new marathon in New Hampshire, the Manchester Marathon. This would be an ideal race to run, because we have friends in Manchester that we could stay with [...]

The Marine Corps Marathon was this morning. Ruben Garcia ran about a minute faster than last year, but it was not necessary to repeat his win. He beat Carl Rundell by over 3 minutes. Laura Thompson was unable to break 3 hours, but she won by about 2 minutes over Brenda Schrank. The top 5 [...]
