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.

8 miles @ 8:07 pace. I guess next week I'll start adding intervals/tempos into my workouts to get ready for the upcoming 5k/10k next month.

Upper body and core work out. No run today cuz they were doing construction on the roads by my house. Planning on 10 tomorrow.

So I decided to run a couple of mile sprints in with my 10 mile run to see where my speed was at. I thought I may have gotten slower since I  haven't pushed the pace in a while. The pace for most of the run was slow around 8:30-9:15 b/c those sprints killed me. 

Mile 3 - 5:40 Had to walk for a couple minutes after b/c I felt my heart was going to burst. I don't think I've ever ran a sub 6 before

Mile 8 - 6:10 Slightly uphill in the wind. I wasn't pushing as hard as the first sprint. Maybe b/c I was pretty much gassed after that first one.

Overall, pretty happy with the results. I see everyone is stepping up their training lately. Now it is my turn! =)
