Umstead 100 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.

| Ran around the West Valley Fitness Center. 4 progressive miles, recovery mile, then 1 fast mile. Felt good. Plan on running with Mark tomorrow. I believe we are doing some track work. (8:00, 7:54, 7:43, 7:28, 8:16, 6:37) | | Comments(5) |

| Speedwork with Mark and Marty on the track. I didn't keep track of my splits but I was a few seconds behind Mark on each of them so I'm guessing an average of 1:20 for the 400's. Workout was 2 miles warm-up with 8 strides. 6 x 400 @ 1:24 RI 400 Thanks to Mark and Marty for pushing me. It was rough lol. | | Comments(6) |

| 1 warm up and 2 supposedly marathon pace miles but I ran these too fast. I'll just shoot for 7:30-7:45 for marathon pace miles. (8:10, 7:09, 7:01) | | Comments(3) |
