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.

Missy! I have no idea about the lone faithful's list. Maybe it's when you have no comments but are using FRB often? I haven't stopped by your blog yet, can't wait to see your pics! Glad you had fun on your run =)

Michelle - Thanks! The run went pretty well. Hope you have a great weekend!

Vinh I was confused because you are far from the loner type! Tee hee....I'm going to post those pix on Sundays blog since no one will see it If I post them on the Friday slot..It's already a new week! Does that make sense? I might just confuse people posting pictures from the run I did 2 days before..lol.
