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.

So yesterday I tried running a mile to see how my foot felt. Still some pain in my right arch. Not too happy about that but what can I do. I'll just keep cross training on the elliptical and the occasional swim. Today I did a body pump class (haven't done that in a while). Felt weaker than I used to be but it felt good to get in a lift session. I have been doing pull ups/pushups/sit ups still so I'm not all scrawny in case you are wondering =P *Flexes for everyone =)* I have lost some weight though...I'm down to like 140 now. About 5 lbs down from the beginning of the year. So there is only about 9-10 weeks of training before the St. George marathon. I hope I can recover soon so I can actually get in some decent training. I'm not so sure I can get to the fitness level I want to be to BQ =( I guess we will see. You guys might have to carry me to the finish. This blog entry is for Bonnie btw. I know my blog has been bland and boring but I suck at these kind of things. I'll try to be less boring and get on FRB more often. Hope everyone is doing well!
