Portland Marathon Video

It took a while, but here it is. I had fun putting together this sequence from Jeff’s video camera.


Qualified for Boston Marathon

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

It’s been three days since the Portland Marathon and I still haven’t had the time or energy to post a race report or pictures. I’ll try to do so this weekend.

In summary: I achieved my goal, which was to qualify for the Boston Marathon. My official time was 3:11:05.

Now I’m off to Vancouver, BC, for three days to attend the 2010 NHLA conference.


Less Than 48 Hours To Go

Friday, October 8th, 2010

Sixteen week of training for the Portland Marathon and I’m feeling ready. After a couple of taper weeks, all that’s left is a ten minute jog tomorrow to tune the legs, then relaxation and a bowl of pasta.

The weather forecast calls for rain and wind, but I don’t care.

I’ll stick my neck out and announce my goal: To qualify for the Boston Marathon. For a man my age that means at least a 3:15 finish. It will be hard, but I am am ready and excited.
