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.

Mark - Definitely a great run...for me at least. It was probably too easy for you haha. Looking for to Saturday's run.

Smooth! - sorry ive been a slacker on FRB! I can't wait to meet you! Let me know when you are doing your runs. I want to definitely join you before STG. I have a couple runs planned with Mark already but I'm up to run some more.
