Personal:

My name is Vinh Nguyen. I'm 28 years old, former Marine...

Started running when I joined the military in 1999. I did not enjoy running until 2006-7 when I started training for my first marathon. In the Marines, we ran an average of 3-5 miles. I never ran any distances longer than that until I started training for the Myrtle Beach Marathon in 2007.

Currently working as a government contractor (electronics technician).

I finished my Associates of Science in August and have finally been able to train hard full time. I decided to take time of school to see how much of a difference it will make and maybe hopefully achieve my goal and qualify for Boston.

Not too happy with my time but 19 min PR nonetheless. The heat didn't really bother me much today.... it was the hills/downhills! Coming from flat terrain in SC doesn't help at all. Congrats to everyone who finished the race! It was good to see Mark, Jeff, Teena, Smooth, RAD, Lyman, Tom, and a few other people I can't remember at the moment. Kelli I missed you again! I saw that you ran a killer race! I told you and Teena yall would beat me! Teena I saw your time, I'm glad you hit your goal time as well! You did awesome! Everyone did awesome except me it feels like. This is not an easy course for me. I did okay and hit the paces I was satisfied with until mile 18 on. My legs were toast by then. Oh well, back to the drawing board. Got a marathon in February to train for. It's flat and at sea level! I'll be heading back to SC on Monday so....I wish everyone the best! I won't be doing SGM next year but I might just come visit in the summer. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
